VPS Command Line Tutorials

[keith smith]

Thanks,

netstat gives me a few lines w/o any ports......

I did install an FTP server and issued proftpd -t -d3 and it started.  - not sure if this command also caused it to be configured on runlevel 3... did notice is was added to rc3.d

Thanks for your help,
Keith
