Need Help Getting ProFTPd Started with XINETD

I just installed proftpd server to replace wuftpd because I want to make sure my server is more secure. I was able to get it started yesterday and connected, but now for some reason I can't get it to start. I have it set up to start through XINETD but for some reason it never does. Can somebody look through my settings and let me know if you can find why it isn't working?

Note: I'm not sure if this is why it isn't working but I do not have any files under /etc/xinetd.d named proftpd. If this could be the problem, how do I get it to show up? I used the default ./configure when installing proftpd.

File: /etc/xinetd.conf

Code: 
# Simple configuration file for xinetd
#
# Some defaults, and include /etc/xinetd.d/

        log_on_failure          = HOST RECORD

}

I've tried restarting xinetd with /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart and it comes up with this error:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd: config:: command not found

Here's what comes up when I run netstat-at so I know the FTP server is not running:

Code: 
Active Internet connections (servers and established)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State

tcp        0      0 *:smtp                  *:*                     LISTEN
Any ideas?
