I just tested your intadem command to turn off the logging, and it works for me. Keep in mind I'm just talking about the initial connect from log entries, created when a client first connects to the service. All other logging by ftp or other inetd services would be configured separately. If I set tcp_wrappers=TRUE, I get the connect from log entries, and when I set that to FALSE, they do not appear any longer.
