much easier? To run an FTP server in muLinux is only matter to
answer "y" to the question "do you wish startd inetd?".
The user answer "y", with no other questions at all. After that,
FTPD and TELNETD are available to the whole universe.

                - Traditional Internet Services -

This setup start the "inetd" daemon, the Internet Super-server.
A lot of traditional UNIX services, managed via /etc/inetd.conf,
will becomes active. They are:

                 in.telnetd, in.ftpd, in.rshd, etc.

All services in muLinux, as in every Linux box, are accessible to
external networks. If not, there is some bug. This is NOT a muLinux
feature but a feature common to all Linux boxes, because
- thank god - every Linux box is equiped with a native TCP/IP stack.

As extras, muLinux offers also the SMB (Samba protocol) and
a complete Web front-end to its internals configuration parameters.
All that, in two floppy-disks.

I'm astonished to know that the muLinux services, rustics and not, aren't
accessible from outside.
