Well, that sure was simple.  It wasn't running.  Now it is, and now
I can ftp and telnet in.  

Cyberclops said there were security issues with this and I believe
that's true.  But now that I'm over this hurdle, I can move on to ssh
with its more-secure equivalents.

Thanks, Lynn (and clue-tech) for the quick fix.
