Does the ftpd binary exist? Is it executable?

If what you're saying is true, and you have restarted (SIGHUP) inetd, and
TCP/IP is working correctly on your machine, then a useful thing to do
would be to look in logs and determine if there are any fatal errors when
attempting to start ftpd instances.

Is there anything else bound to port 21 for any reason? When you ftp from
localhost, does it work? If so, ftpd itself is not the problem. Otherwise,
what does "no ftp" mean? Does the socket connect, timeout, or refuse the
connection? Or do you actually connect and exchange data, but the ftpd
application isn't working correctly? If all else fails, some relevant
tcpdump output, and sockstat | grep '\.21' might be helpful.

Just some thoughts...
