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.

ftpwho
ftpwho(1) General Commands Manual ftpwho(1)NAME
ftpwho - show current process information for each FTP session
SYNOPSIS
ftpwho
DESCRIPTION
The ftpwho command shows process information for all active proftpd connections, and a count of all connected users off of each server.
Proftpd sesssions spawned from inetd are counted separately from those created by a master proftpd standalone server.
OPTIONS -h,--help Display a short usage description, including all available options.
-f,--file scoreboard-file
Specify the full path to proftpd's run-time scoreboard file (configured via the ScoreboardFile directive in proftpd.conf ). If
proftpd's default directory has been changed via this directive, ftpwho must either be recompiled, or this option must be used
in order to find proftpd's scoreboard.
-o,--outform format
Specify an output format. Currently, two "formats" are supported: compat and oneline. The compat format is used for backward
compatibility. The oneline format causes all of the fields for a session to be displayed on a single line, for ease of line-
based searches (e.g. grep).
-v,--verbose
Reports additional information for each connection, such as the remote host and current working directory. -S,--server
server-name Specify the ServerName for a specific virtual host. If used, ftpwho will only show session information for the
given virtual host.
