Hmm? Install is just "rpm -Uvh vsftpd-x.xx-x.i386.rpm".

I strongly suggest that you stick to RPM and *NOT* install things from 
source, which is what "downloaded and unpacked" sounds like. You will save 
yourself tons of headaches, since all source-installed stuff is not tracked 
and not updated automatically... it becomes "do-it-yourself" forever. If 
you don't know of an excellent reason why you *should* compile and install 
from source, then you shouldn't. Trust me.

Which version of Red Hat Linux are you using? Have you set up "up2date" 
yet? If so, try simply issuing the command "up2date vsftpd" as root and see 
what happens. :-)
