anyone know how to disable FTP on Mandrake 7.2?


I'm also getting these messages in my secure log:

Feb 20 02:08:29 gizmo xinetd[578]: START: ftp pid=3D3515 =
from=3D127.0.0.1
Feb 20 02:08:29 gizmo xinetd[3515]: USERID: ftp OTHER :root

Feb 20 02:08:45 gizmo xinetd[578]: EXIT: ftp pid=3D3518 =

I'm not sure if I should be concerned about this or not, but since I =
havent FTP'd in from root, I should be.. I guess?
