    Sorry for the HTML message. My first time posting to the list and I guess
    at some point it became the default for Eudora to send HTML e-mails.

    I was restarting xinetd just in case. Process of elimination.

    Results of Verify:
    S.5....T c /etc/vsftpd.ftpusers
    S.5....T c /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
    .M...UG. /var/ftp
    .M...UG. /var/ftp/pub

    Results of Netstat:
    tcp 0 0
    *:ftp *:* LISTEN 1557/xinetd

    Ftp user is in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow

    Ftp directory is correct.

    Replaced the config file with one straight out of the rpm, unchanged, and
    started the service.

    service vsftpd status - vsftpd dead but subsys locked.

    This is just crazy. I think I am going to remove the vsftpd and reinstall
    it. Hopefully it will be easy with the rpm manager.

    Any other ideas?
