I noticed that my grml does not have either inetd or xinetd installed. So how does my ssh, ftp services get started?

Plenty of services don't run from inetd / xinetd at all. They do their own listening. They get started in your /etc/runlevel.conf file.

If ftpd is started from inetd, then one can use the /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/services to specify which port the ftpd is listening on.

If they are started from /etc/runlevel.conf, how can I specify which port the ftpd is listening on? In /etc/inetd.conf, one can also specify how to launch the ftpd, which switches to use, etc. how can I do this with /etc/runlevel.conf? I hope not directly fiddling with /etc/init.d/wu-ftpd.
