Relevant configuration files: woozle@rizzo:~$ sudo cat /etc/inetd.conf swat           stream  tcp     nowait.400      root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  /usr/sbin/swat woozle@rizzo:~$ ftp localhost ftp: connect: Connection refused
 * /etc/inetd.conf: network configuration. Should include a line specifying wu-ftpd as the handler for ftp connections (e.g. the last line in this sample inetd.conf; "-a" added on recommendation of FAQ):
 * 1) # netbios-ssn     stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  /usr/sbin/smbd
 * /etc/ftpusers: list of system users not allowed to connect via ftp (typically "root" and other admin accounts)
 * ftpaccess: main configuration file. Haven't found where this file lives yet; maybe it has to be created from scratch?
 * Absolutely could not get wu-ftpd to work; this is what always happens, regardless of where I'm trying to connect from:
 * Giving up and trying ProFTPD
