Hmmm... sounds like ftpshut has been run. After that, you'll have to
remove /etc/shutmsg manually to get the server back up. If that's not
the problem, running ckconfig and checking /var/adm/messages did help
me a lot in tracking down configuration quirks.

I'm running wu-ftpd 2.4 on a Solaris 2.3 box, too. Check again that 
*everything* is configured as in the install docs. No configuration
changes were necessary for me to get the server up and running.

ftp commands go to syslog.
