If you're running it through tcpd and you have something like

ftp     stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/libexec/tcpd       ftpd

in inetd.conf, then tcpd is looking for a program in /usr/libexec/.
You'll need to specify the full path to wu-ftpd in the last field
(/usr/local/libexec/ftpd).  Alternately, since wu-ftpd does dns, domain,
and IP checking on its own, you may not need tcp wrappers and can
exec via

ftp     stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/local/libexec/ftpd ftpd -a
