generally you edit the wu-ftp file in /etc/xinet.d and set disabled to yes

you might also try restarting xinetd usint its init script 
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart

im not running mandrake 7.2 anymore so i can't test this, but it should 
work.  If not set me up with a temp account and i'll ssh in and take a look
