I am trying to get VSFTPD to listen on a particular IP. The
ifconfig output for the host is:

I can start vsftpd with the default vsftpd.conf. However, if I add
just one line:
listen_address=aaa.bbb.ccc.184
Then I get this behaviour.
/var/log/messages:
Apr 26 09:18:19 inet06 vsftpd: vsftpd vsftpd succeeded
but
# service vsftpd status
vsftpd dead but subsys locked
There are no further log messages and I cannot see where else to
look for clues as to what is going on. Can anyone help. I get the
digest version of this list so replies to both the list and
directly to myself are greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Jim
