[lug] How do you start telnet and ftp services?

[Atkinson, Chip]

locate is really the command of choice.  It uses a database that is
generally built nightly and in some instances may be out of date if you were
doing a bunch of deleting or installing.  I'm not sure if it's on all linux
distributions, and is not on all unix installations for sure unfortunately.

I can't say much as to the efficiency of either of the find commands.  I'd
chalk it up to two of at least three ways to find a file. 

On linux and unix, the process doesn't finish before sending the output to
the pipe.  That's what windows does AFAIK.

I missed the first part of this thread, but on linux why not use `locate
ftpd` or just look to see what inetd is starting by looking in
/etc/inetd.conf

I'd be interested in knowing the difference between the find method and
the find/grep method.  With a pipe, does the find finish before sending
output to grep or does it output to the pipe the whole time?
