George, please do not fill your mail with so much empty lines! If you
want to separate parts like configuration files please mark them
different.

vim has highlightning support, it's a feature and no bug. On the command
prompt running vim and opened a file type in "/foo". If it finds the
string "foo" inside the file it will highlight that string. I guess you
once searched for "NO". Let vim search for "brz" and it will no more
hightlight something.

This is ok for an xinetd service.

No! Do not edit the /etc/services file! Leave it untouched.

You do not have to care for that.

I do not have knowledge about vsftpd as I am a pure-ftpd and proftpd
user. The documentation of the vsftpd should help you. Else google
certainly helps you to find comprehensive configuration helps. I quickly
found this link:
