Ah, good - you should be able to edit the ftpd inetd entry with inetadm to use the options:

Code:
-r         (rootdir of the FTP session - see the chroot(2) manpage)
-a         (allows the use of ftpaccess - see the ftpaccess(4) manpage)

Both of these things should enhance the security of your FTP sessions somewhat.
