I think it has to do with my ipchains settings. I have not been able to
figure out entry for allowing ftp. If I turn off ipchains, I can
connect.

The current entry is ACCEPT     tcp  -y----  anywhere
anywhere              any ->   ftp

(I intend to restrict it further once I get the entry working but with
this one, I still cannot connect.)

have you checked your /etc/hosts.allow /etc/hosts.deny files?

xinetd blocks ftp by default, although it sounds like you have already
looked at that
