! An example <code>xinetd</code> configuration is:
! <pre>
!   service ftp
!   {
!         disable = no
!         flags			= REUSE
!         socket_type             = stream
!         wait                    = no
!         user                    = root
!         server                  = /usr/sbin/proftpd
!         server_args             = -c /etc/proftpd.conf
!   }
! </pre>
! The xinetd configuration is usually found in <code>/etc/xinetd.conf</code>
! or in the <code>/etc/xinetd.d/</code> directory.

+ <b>Frequently Asked Questions</b><br>
+ 
+ <font color=red>Question</font>: I have configured:
+ <pre>
+   IdentLookups off
+   ServerIdent off
+ </pre>
+ in my <code>proftpd.conf</code>, but my logins are still slow.  Why?<br>
+ <font color=blue>Answer</font>:  Another source of slow logins can be
+ <code>xinetd</code>, or <code>tcpwrappers</code> compiled for reverse DNS
+ lookups (<i>i.e.</i> with the <code>-DPARANOID</code> option).
+ 
+ <p>
+ If you are using <code>ServerType inetd</code>, <i>and</i> you are using
+ <code>xinetd</code> to run <code>proftpd</code>, then you should check your
+ <code>/etc/xinetd.conf</code> (or <code>/etc/xinetd.d/proftpd</code> or
+ similar) file for the <code>USERID</code> parameter, <i>e.g.</i>:
+ <pre>
+   log_on_success          += DURATION USERID
+   log_on_failure          += USERID
+ </pre>
+ As per the <code>xinetd.conf</code> documentation, the use of
+ <code>USERID</code> in your configuration causes <code>xinetd</code> to do
+ an IDENTD lookup:
+ <pre>
+         USERID      logs the user id of the remote user  using
+                     the   RFC  1413  identification  protocol.
+                     This option is available only  for  multi-
+                     threaded stream services.
+ </pre>
+ Removing <code>USERID</code> from your <code>xinetd</code> configuration
+ for proftpd often suffices to fix the slow logins.
+ 
+ <p>
+ Another solution is simply to <a href="#Switching">switch</a> your
+ <code>ServerType</code> to "standalone".
