Cannot login to ibook via ftp

I've had my ibook for about a year now and this is the first time I've had a problem with it. Last night right after I finished my software update, ftp has suddenly stopped letting me login.

I've enabled root ftp for the last year or so.

Whenever I goto login even as my own account and not as root I get login incorrect.

Benjamin-Chens-Computer:/etc root# ftp localhost
Trying ::1...

Anyone have ANY idea?

/etc/xinetd.d/ftp looks fine.
The initial ftp connection just starts up an instance of ftpd -l
I have no idea what else to be looking for.
