in. is just part of the filename.. don't be confused by it.
the daemon must reside at /usr/bin/ftpd based on the config file.. if it
doesn't, then change the config.. one way or another.. make sure it's
logical.
the -a option (based on the man page for ftpd) enables the use of the
ftpaccess file (/etc/ftpaccess is where it usually resides).
checking the ftpd (/etc/ftp* usually.. should be about 4 of em) config
files is usually a good idea anyway :P
