vsftpd - running

Hi,
I just installed the latest vsftpd. When I first ran vsftpd, it would run in the background, and I could ftp in from another computer while I was working on my linux computer.

Now, when I run /usr/local/sbin/vsftpd I get a blinking cursor and can not continue to work on my linux machine until I ctrl+C out of the vsftpd application. Does anyone know why?? or how I can run vsftpd in the background as a server and continue to work in my command line.

ps. I only have command line capability - I don't have an X

best,
~Calador

Never mind, I found online to add
background=YES
into my vsftpd.conf file and now things are working great -
background=NO is the default setting
