i don't use inetd but xinetd though you should be able to modify it easy enough
..

service ftp
{
        socket_type     = stream
        protocol        = tcp
        wait            = no
        user            = root
        server          = /usr/sbin/proftpd
}

...

don't forget to edit the /etc/proftpd.conf:

ServerType                      inetd

                                      ).|.(
                                    '.`___'.`
                                   ' `(>~<)' `
