Did yoiu remember to reload xinetd after you made the change?  Did you
test ftp from your local system or from a remote system?  
To test locally:
$ ftp localhost

Check to see if you have any firewalls blocking you from accessing ftp
remotely.  Also check to make sure you've really got an ftp server
installed:
$ rpm -qa | grep ftp
