I'm looking at vsftpd not wu-ftpd. Neither of them seem to work. Both wu-ftpd and vsftpd say that the files they are looking for are in /usr/sbin/. I've looked at /usr/etc and it's empty. Unless there is something else I'm missing, I think that the firewall may be the problem. (But I can't disable the damn thing!)

I've got two vsftpd logs, both of which are empty. I have a strange message from the messages log, saying the /usr/etc/in.ftpd is not executable.
