First read /usr/doc/Cygwin/inetutils-1.3.2.README.

Then check your /etc/passwd and /etc/group files. Use `mkpasswd'
and `mkgroup' tools to (re)create them.

Then search the mailing list archive (or use Google) to find older
mail concerning ftp and inetd with Cygwin and look if you find a
solution that way.

Giving more details would be the next step. "It doesn't work" is
way too less information to be able to help.
