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.

curvecpmessage
NaCl(1) General Commands Manual NaCl(1)NAME
CurveCP -- Message-handling programs
SYNOPSIS
curvecpmessage [-q (optional)] [-Q (optional)] [-v (optional)] [-c (optional)] [-C (optional)] [-s (optional)] [prog]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the CurveCP commands.
A traditional UNIX-style server such as ftpd handles just one network connection, reading input from stdin and writing output to stdout. A
"superserver" such as inetd or tcpserver listens for network connections and starts a separate server process for each connection.
The CurveCP command-line tools have an extra level of modularity. The curvecpserver superserver listens for network connections. For each
connection, curvecpserver starts the curvecpmessage message handler; curvecpmessage then starts a server such as ftpd. Then ftpd sends a
stream of data to curvecpmessage, which in turn sends messages to curvecpserver, which encrypts and authenticates the messages and sends
them inside network packets. At the same time curvecpclient receives network packets, verifies and decrypts messages inside the packets,
and passes the messages to curvecpmessage; curvecpmessage sends a stream of data to ftpd. The same curvecpmessage tool is also used by
curvecpclient.
curvecpserver and curvecpclient can use programs other than curvecpmessage. Those programs can directly generate messages in the CurveCP
message format without talking to separate tools such as ftpd; or they can support a completely different protocol that reuses CurveCP's
cryptographic layer but transmits different kinds of messages.
