Starting vsftp from Red Hat 9.0

service vsftpd start"
However, I think that RedHat configures the vsftpd service to run behind xinetd, which means that you'd want to try the command above, if it doesn't work enter:
"lsof -Pni| grep -i :21"
You're looking to see if anything is running on TCP port 21. You may find that the inetd/xinetd service is already listening on the port.

if it's under control of xinetd, then this will show you:
foxtrot(~)$ chkconfig --list finger
finger off
If it has it's own init script, you will see this:
foxtrot(~)$ chkconfig --list httpd
httpd 0
ff 1ff 2ff 3ff 4ff 5ff 6ff
Either way, you can make them automatically start with (for example):
foxtrot(~)$ sudo chkconfig finger on
foxtrot(~)$ chkconfig --list finger
finger off
