Please check if your servers /etc/xinetd.d/proftpd and
/etc/xinetd.d/proftpds aren't 0-bytes. They should have around 650-670
bytes of length like these here:

[root at sword ~]# ls -la /etc/xinetd.d/proftp*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 661 13. Mär 06:07 /etc/xinetd.d/proftpd
-rw-r----- 1 root root 654  2. Nov 2014  /etc/xinetd.d/proftpds

Make sure xinetd is running and also see what /var/log/messages reports
when you restart xinetd and/or try to login via FTP.
