After my upgrade the ftpd lines were commented out in /etc/inetd.conf .
You might want to have a look there as well.

This is how mine looked after the upgrade:

#:STANDARD: These are standard services.
#<ftp-off>#ftp        stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd \
/usr/sbin/in.ftpd
telnet          stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd \
/usr/sbin/in.telnetd
#<ftp-off>#ftp       stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd \
/usr/sbin/ftpd
