Details

Set vsftptd to be running as xinetd service by commenting the line: #listen=YES line in /etc/vsftpd.conf. Running the daemon manually produces this output (correctly):
# /usr/sbin/vsftpd
500 OOPS: vsftpd: not configured for standalone, must be started from inetd
and will not start the service.

Running the daemon from the script with '/etc/rc.d/vsftpd start' however says:
:: Starting vsftpd FTP Daemon [DONE]
although the daemon is actually not running. This is also why '/etc/rc.d/vsftpd stop' fails.
This task depends upon

IMHO it would be better to make vsftpd running in standalone mode, as most users don't use xinetd to launch other daemons.

Yeah, it works in standalone mode fine. But when you forget to uncomment the line in config which is by default commented, it is configured to run as xinetd service. Now try to run it with '/etc/rc.d/vsftpd start' and it confusingly tells you the daemon has successfully been started but in fact it fails because of the "bad" configuration.
