I am somewhat familiar with webmin, I have it running on my rack mount linux
box at the office. I do need to work with that some more as it seems to be a
great tool for easy administration, as well as learn to see what it changes
as far as configurations. I just enjoy wrestling with the command line.

Well its about 1AM and I'm about ready to make this a project to hopefully
finish in the morning. Me latest update to follow...

I understand a few things better now.. Then possibly confused myself
further.. LOL

I went into /etc/xinetd.d/vsftpd and changed the line disable = YES to
disable = NO then entered the command /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart
This effectively shut down vsftpd.

Then while reading some documentation online I noticed they listed the
command to start it via /etc/init.d/vsftpd start
I was not aware it had this option! I didn't think the RPM put that script
there. Did it? Maybe from the original fedora install. This STARTED the
vsftpd and ALSO read my configuration file! Anonymous was OFF, and the
banner I entered WAS displayed!

Hopefully in the morning with a fresh mind and coffee I can be more
successful in working the xinetd route and getting it to start (as it is)
and ALSO reading the vsftpd.conf file so ANONYMOUS stays off, and the rest
of the config is read and used!

Again.. Thanks to all that responded thus far you have been very helpful!

Yawn.. Of to bed..
