Vsftp and redhat 9 allow only password users

[rotnrat]

after several hours of of weeding thru config files I finally got this thing working and allowing a user to ftp in to their home directory and not allowing anounymous ftp. worked great for a couple of hours and then lightining struck, lost power, the box went blank, and after that it is back to anounymous "pub" directory every time i try to log in over ftp. I have looked through everything and don't get it, it looks fine to my eyes.
here is the vsftpd.conf

# config file /etc/vsftpd.conf
anonymous_enable=no
local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES
local_umask=022
#anon_upload_enable=YES
#anon_mkdir_write_enable=YES
dirmessage_enable=YES
xferlog_enable=YES
connect_from_port_20=YES
#chown_uploads=YES
#chown_username=whoever
xferlog_file=/var/log/vsftpd.log
xferlog_std_format=YES
idle_session_timeout=600
data_connection_timeout=120
#nopriv_user=ftpsecure
#async_abor_enable=YES
#ascii_upload_enable=YES
#ascii_download_enable=YES
ftpd_banner=Welcome to SomeDumb FTP service.
#deny_email_enable=YES
#banned_email_file=/etc/vsftpd.banned_emails
#chroot_list_enable=YES
#chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list
#ls_recurse_enable=YES
pam_service_name=vsftpd
userlist_deny=NO
userlist_enable=YES
listen=YES
tcp_wrappers=YES


here is my xinetd/vsftpd file

service ftpdisable = no
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/vsftpd
per_source = 5
instances = 200
no_access = 192.168.4.8
banner_fail = /ect/vsftpd.busy_banner
log_on_success += PID HOST DURATION
log_on_failure += HOST
server_args = /etc/vstpd/vsftpd.conf
nice= 10
}


please help me get this mess straightened out probably lots of stuff i dont even need in these files because i set them up from bits and pieces of files i found on other forums trying to get it wrking to start with. thanks in advance

**Update** just rebooted this computer and now it seems that i cant get ftp to run at all!

Question where is the vsftpd.config file supposed to reside, in /etc or in /etc/vsftpd, because I had a copy in /etc and got rid of it thinking that having two of these files conflicted with one another and caused the anounymous logon problem ?

well my brain is to tired to try to figure this out tonite
thanks

If you hide this question here, it will be harder to find and has less chance of getting answered.

Take a look at the man page for the 'mount' command, i.e. 'man mount'.
