If someone could give advice - I am running Centos 4 and on it I am running among other things vsftpd. Today I noticed the ftp services wasn't running, when I went to restart it it says it starts, but there is no pid for it. when I do a status on it, it gives a message saying "vsftpd is dead but subsys is locked" I have tried removing the lock file and no joy. I even just resorted to a reboot hoping that would clear the issue and to no avail

It could be just about anything (full disc, permissions problem, corrupt executable, etc.) that is preventing the service from starting or causing it to crash.
Look at the file /var/log/messages when it fails for an error.
I figured it out folks. Thank you for the help. It ends up that in the vsftpd.conf file the IP address was hard coded and I recently changed IP, causing it to kill the process right as it started.
