Try a few things :

- try to telnet in. If you get a login prompt, it's ok
- Check /etc/services to see if FTP is listed (both of them !!)

ftp-data        20/tcp
ftp                 21/tcp

- Check /etc/initd.conf and see if in.ftpd is listed :

ftp     stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  in.ftpd -l -a

the tcpd statement comes from the tcp_wrappers...

Also check your log-files.
