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?
