Nothing wrong, no mistakes. In 2.2.6, ftpd is started by default through
inetd (see /etc/inetd.conf), only when an incoming ftp request arrives.
If you want a full time ftpd daemon, comment out the line in inetd.conf,
and add code to start ftpd as a standalone daemon to an rc file, probably
rc.network.
All the install option does is create user 14, and copy some nice files
to /var/ftp, the anonymous ftp chroot area.
Before making changes, try an anonymous ftp to localhost, and see if
it works. Check the line in inetd.conf, if you upgraded instead of
fresh installed, the line for ftpd may not be active. If so, activate,
and send HUP to inetd.
