It would make sense if it's based out of inetd or xinetd.  Which version 
of Red Hat Linux are you running?  cat /etc/redhat-release if you're not 
sure.

Also, do the following:
# rpm -qa | grep ftp

You may have both installed.  Go to a command line and enter:
$ ftp localhost

Let's see the output of that.  By default, both vsftpd and wu-ftpd will 
identify themselves in the response text.
