I don't know of an options at installation asking if you want to be an FTP
server, but I do know that ftpd is launched by inetd.  Check
/etc/inetd.conf to see if there is a line similar to:

	ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/ftpd ftpd -l

it is usually the first line.  I don't know how it could've working with
2.2.5, but ftpd is always launched by inetd.  Check if it works by testing
ftp:

	$ ftp 127.0.0.1

notice that you don;t have to be root.


Hope this helps :-)
