Every time I have installed proftpd I usually have a had time to get it 
to work just like I want. I don't use xinetd on my system.  Slackware 
has inetd by default?   But I had to put in the location of the config 
file  such that my inetd line has  proftpd -c /etc/proftpd.conf. 
Perhaps you need this in the server line???

Also,  Look over the proftpd.conf file and make sure that you don't have 
a setting conflicting with the xinetd.d/proftpd file.
