I can't start the daemon. Running /etc/rc.d/init.d/vsftpd status shows "vsftpd dead but subsys locked". This occurs each and every time unless I remove listen_port= from the conf file and let the daemon use port 21.
Are you using selinux? It restricts ftpd to port 21 iirc. You'll have to create a local policy allowing it to listen/connect on a port other than that.
