It happens when I run "/usr/bin/redhat-config-services". That gui comes up find, but when I click on vsftpd, the services gui locks up. It does start vsftpd, and I've verified it's running. The services gui won't come out of lock-up until I stop vsftpd via command line. I suppose that's not as much of a concern as it is that my "redhat-config-httpd" gui doesn't even come up anymore, when I click on it, it gives me "unknown error" pop-up. I could always edit the httpd.conf file manually, but then if I ever get the gui working, it may over-write any changes.
