Considering the information above, one issue is that the the first set of
log entries are probably made by wu-ftpd. You can netstat -lp (as root) to
get the pid and process name of all listening sockets, which will tell you
who is listening for ftp connections. If it is xinetd, and considering that
the second set of log entries occur when you attempt to connect, you should
look at the proftpd.conf file (probably in /etc). Look for the ServerTupe
directive--it must say "inetd". If it says "standalone", there is your
problem. This means daemon mode, so when proftp launches it tries to bind to
the ftp port, which it can't, because inetd already has it.
