    |There are currently no options being provided to vsftpd in the xinetd file
    |provided by SuSE and the man page doesnt list any options.

    /etc/vsftpd.conf is where the options are

    rpm -ql vsftpd

    tells you what files are in the vsftpd package.

    |The man page says that running standalone is the prefered way and thats
    |the way I always ran it using Redhat. But SuSE has it set to run through
    |xinetd.

    No reason why you can't disable xinetd from running it and run it
    standalone, you just need a SySV init script for it. There are a ton of
    tutorials and books out there on how to change the service configuration
    to the way you want it.

    |I am relatively new to SuSE but Redhat abandoned me. SuSE does often does
    |thinks in vastly different ways than Redhat did. YAST2 often doesnt allow
    |me to do what I want to do but I learned that trying to roll my own pisses
    |YAST2 off big time. My opinion is that this stuff is getting to be too
    |much like Microsoft products: They dont tell you anything, wont let you
    |do what you want, and doesnt work as provided.

    You could either learn how to work with or around yast, or go for
    another distro where you're on your own re system configuration.
