as you can see inetd seems to be running... but I can't ftp download
anythning from any of the clients... could this be a setting in my squid
proxy software?

I ran this command and got the result below:

/usr/sbin/in.tftpd
/usr/sbin/wu.ftpd

Is this what it's supposed to look like (sorry still a bit of a newbie)...

thanks for all the help...
