Where did you get the RPM from? Some older vsftpd versions want to run as
a service of xinetd(8), while newer ones want to run standalone.
Which ever method was used, the RPM should have installed it
correctly. Try a

# rpm -V vsftpd

to see if the install has been corrupted.

xinetd ain't inetd. Your setup file is buggered. Only the server
pathname goes on the "server=" line. Use a "server_args=" to supply
any command line arguments for the server. You have one too many '}'
brackets, also.

service ftp
{
        disable = no
        socket_type = stream
        wait = no
        user = root
        server = /usr/sbin/vsftpd nice
        server_args = nice = 10
}
