Hello!

Let me clarify on this.

The current FTPSRVR on 5.5 cannot run under inetd.  As Duane rightly
pointed out, it uses NETIPC for network i/o and inetd requires
BSD sockets.

What I did tell was, if FTPSRVR ran under inetd, then FTPMON is
redundant (i.e., you can't have both FTPMON and INETD listening
on the FTP port at the same time)!

Apologies for any confusion caused!
