I tried with both, my inetd original file (also, I just reinstalled it using
mergemaster) and this one, on both occations I got the same error. Very
strange.

After inetd wouldn't start, I started the ftp daemon automatically using
/usr/libexec/ftpd -D -l -l and it started perfectly. I don't think something
was bound to port 21 because ftpd alone could start but not inetd. BTW, I
rebuild world before posting these messages, and still I had the same
problem.
