Ok, it seems that nowait is correct (inetd fires a ftpd for each connection).
What is -a option? Does it use tcp wrappers?
Did you read the man page
Description:
ftpd is the Internet File Transfer Protocol server process. The
server uses the TCP protocol and listens at the port specified in
the ftp service specification; see services(SFF).
ftpd is started by the super server inetd, and therefore must
have an entry in inetd's configuration file, /etc/inetd.conf. See
inetd(ADMN) and inetd.conf(SFF). -a
Specify that the access file, /etc/ftpaccess, must be
present. This is the default behavior.

tftpd
TFTPD(8) System Manager's Manual TFTPD(8)NAME
tftpd - DARPA Trivial File Transfer Protocol server
SYNOPSIS
tftpd [ directory ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Tftpd is a server which supports the DARPA Trivial File Transfer Protocol. The TFTP server operates at the port indicated in the ``tftp''
service description; see services(5). The server is normally started by inetd(8).
The use of tftp does not require an account or password on the remote system. Due to the lack of authentication information, tftpd will
allow only publicly readable files to be accessed. Files may be written only if they already exist and are publicly writable. Note that
this extends the concept of ``public'' to include all users on all hosts that can be reached through the network; this may not be appropri-
ate on all systems, and its implications should be considered before enabling tftp service. The server should have the user ID with the
lowest possible privilege.
Access to files may be restricted by invoking tftpd with a list of directories by including pathnames as server program arguments in
/etc/inetd.conf. In this case access is restricted to files whose names are prefixed by the one of the given directories.
