from the rpm it's:

/usr/sbin/in.ftpd

After clearing the huge messages log file and rebooting I get this:

Jun  3 21:54:27 Milan syslogd 1.3-3: restart.
Jun  3 21:54:30 Milan inetd[80]: Online and ready (1 sockets)
Jun  3 21:55:50 Milan syslog: getpeername (/usr/sbin/in.ftpd): Socket operation on non-socket

so it seems to be starting but failing. Investigation needed.
