Let me be more specific; if you don't want ftpd wrapped, just add

ftpd: ALL : ALLOW

to your /etc/hosts.allow . A stock configuration won't log successful
connections, so you won't see any logging at all.

Asking for command-line switches and/or inetd.conf directives that allow
per-case exclusions seems to me like asking for duplicate functionality
that isn't required (or is that tautology? :-).

Ciao,
Sheldon.
