Please define "control".  Do you mean:

1. Restrict access only to certain IP numbers?  If so, use wu-ftpd, or
   restrict access to the daemon itself via TCP wrappers or ipfw(8).

2. Permit only anonymous ftp?  Use the -A option.

3. Limit the number of users who can log into the ftp daemon at one time?
   As far as I know, stock ftpd doesn't provide that capability.  You'll
   need wu-ftpd.

4. Restrict access by class of user?  Again, you'll need wu-ftpd for that.

If none of the above, then please elaborate.
