well try one thing. log in as root, and as soon as you type the password and hit enter, press Ctrl+Z to prevent the root profile from being read. It was a trick we learnt to get into the system in our normal user logins when others (as a prank) added the command "logout" in the .bash_profile as the first line. I am not saying that something like that happened to you. But maybe you can get into the system in this method. Even though you uninstalled wu-ftpd from the system, maybe u should go to /etc/xinetd.d/ and delete whatever entry you added for wu-ftpd in single-user mode.
