Still no luck. There was a lock file but removing it didn't help. I have a ticket open with RH support, if no resolution comes from here maybe tey will have an answer and I will post for future reference...

I've never enocuntered that particualr problem but the follwing might help you narrow it down. 1. Make sure you are not trying to start vsftpd from xinetd. 2. Make sure "listen=YES" is set in /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf 3. Check if there is a lock file /var/lock/subsys/vsftpd. If there is and YOU ARE SURE vsftpd is not running, delete it and try to restart vsftpd. 4. Check /var/log/vsftpd.log for error reports. > Thanks in advance, > Andrew > ******************************************** > This message is intended only for the use of the Addressee and may > contain information that is PRIVILEGED and CONFIDENTIAL. > > If you are not the intended recipient, you are hereby notified that > any dissemination of this communication is strictly prohibited. > > If you have received this communication in error, please erase all > copies of the message and its attachments and notify us immediately. > > Thank you. > ******************************************** > -- Stephen Carville <stephen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Unix and Network Admin Nationwide Totalflood 6033 W.
