Ok, notice that in inetd.conf you have two flags after ftpd, the -l and -a flags. From the man page:

Quote:
-a Connections are only allowed for users who can authenticate (via the ftp AUTH mechanism) and who are authorized to connect to the named account without a password. (Anonymous ftp may also be allowed if it is configured.)
Quote:
-l Each ftp(1) session is logged in the syslog.

Based on your inetd.conf configuration, you should have ftp logfile entries in your syslog file. If you don't know where those files are (or if it is working properly), please post the contents of your /etc/syslog.conf file.

Before you do that, you might consider editing your inetd.conf ftp entry as follows:

Quote:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.ftpd
In other words, get rid of the -l and -a flags (temporarily, to troubleshoot).

Don't forget to restart inetd with something like:

Quote:
killall -1 inetd
