You were absolutely right! For Linux SuSE 6.4 Distribution I have managed
to start the ftpd-BSD (the name of daemon on the system-sorry for the confusion
it has caused) by letting out -D and -6. The right way was:
(in /etc/inetd.conf)
ftp stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd ftpd-BSD
that means with tcp wrapers (I left it so, if it hadn't work I'd try also
without).
For the Free-BSD system in /etc/inetd.conf
ftp stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/libexec/ftpd ftpd -l
I assume the problem was as you said:
