When you change ftp in /etc/services to 2121, you tell your machine, that
ftp by default is running on port 2121 all over the world.
What you want to do is _add_ a new service, eg spcl_ftp on port 2121 in
/etc/services, and then in /etc/inetd.conf replace the keyword ftp with
spcl_ftp:
spcl_ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/ftpd ftpd -l
If you have a standalone ftp-daemon (not invoked by inetd), you probably
have a command-line option for specifying the port you want it to listen
on.
