This is the way NFS works.  You will also notice that if you have a file
system mounted from one host to a second host, then rlogin (telnet) from a third
host, you won't be able to access the NFS mounted file system either.

Edit the file /usr/etc/inetd.conf and change the ftp line to look like this:

ftp	stream	tcp	nowait	root	/usr/etc/ftpd       	ftpd -d -l
 
The -d switch will print debugging information in the /usr/adm/SYSLOG file and
the -l switch logs ftp sessions.   Then restart the inetd daemon.
