I won't go any further with your query.  The syntax here is incorrect.

The name of the service MUST be EXACTLY the same as the daemon's
actual filename.  So in /etc/hosts.allow you need to have:

in.ftpd : ALL

which will allow total access to that daemon for anyone from anywhere.

Also, if you specify multiple daemons in an access rule, there is no
comma between their names.  And I have found that you can only do this
for the tpcd-wrapped daemons run from /etc/inetd.conf.  Other daemons
like portmapper (RPC) and ssh only seem to work on lines by
themselves.

And some daemons - notably the portmapper which "protects" all the RPC
daemons (nfs, mountd, nis etc) - will NOT do name lookups so you need
to only specify host and network IPs for them.

Your other problems can be solved if you understand the difference
between user logins and anonymous logins.  (One is chrooted to
/home/ftp and the other is not).  I don't recommend doing what you are
attempting to do the way you are trying to do it.  :)
