Missing pid file is not the problem here. If you check listening connections with netstat after starting ftpd and you'll see that ftpd server is active. tcpwrappers rejected your connection (look in messages.log). Try adding 'ftpd:ALL' to /etc/hosts.allow and it shoud work.

Wrong pid location can be fixed by adding '--localstatedir=/var' to configure script. Maintainer missed that.

Or, you can try some other ftp server, ftpd from inetutils is not really the best thing.
