Sounds to me that you are missing the in.ftpd binary...
check out your inetd.conf file and read the last field on the ftp line, it
should look something like this...
/usr/sbin/tcpd in.ftpd
check to make sure that there is an in.ftpd binary in /usr/sbin... if
there isn't then that probably is your problem.
