[olug] SuSE 9.0 proc question

I have suse 9.0 installed on my system and it does not come with an FTP
server as far as I could tell. So, I downloaded ProFTP, installed it,
and configured it how I want it. It works fine, just how I want. The
problem I have is that it doesn't start automatically with the system.
I copied the proftpd to /etc/init.d/ thinking that it would start it
like it starts all the other daemons. That's where all the other
daemons are on my system. When I call startproc proftpd it is fine and
works perfectly. I looked online and it said that I needed to edit my
rc.d files but I think it was talking about an older system because on
mine, there are tons of files and online it made it sound like there
should be just 1.
So, how do I make a service that was not included in the system, start
with the system? I don't want to have a script run at startup if I can
avoid it. If that's the only way, then explain that cuz I've never
done that either.
Thanks for any help!
