Already have that turned off, and I went through the man and online help
file, along with the config file, but I don't see where I need to fix the
problem with a user a loging in and being able to delete files they don't
own.

$> man vsftpd
[...]
OPTIONS
     An optional [configuration file] may be given on the command line.  The
     default configuration file is /etc/vsftpd.conf.
[...]
$> less /etc/vsftpd.conf
[...]
# Allow anonymous FTP? (Beware - allowed by default if you comment this
out).
anonymous_enable=YES

 By default all configuration should be in /etc and /etc/vsftpd
