I don't understand why you can't have to instances of the SMF service 
one configured for ftp on the ftp port and one configured for http on 
its ports.  This would be two different pen processes.   I'm pretty sure 
that would work given the documentation for pen, or am I missing 
something really fundamental about pen in that only a single process can 
exist on a given system ?
