OK. Now I have 3 machines that are setup identically. The vsftpd.conf 
files have the following settings:

    Listen=YES
    #Listen_IPV6
    Anonymous=YES
    #Local_enabled=YES
    #Write_enabled=YES

One of the machines starts fine with 'service vsftpd start' . The other 
two don't.
When I try to start with /usr/sbin/vsftpd, the good machine hangs up. 
The other two come back with:

    500 OOPS: could not bind listening IPv4 socket

I've checked all the file permissions and everything else I can think of 
and have found nothing different between the systems. Two of the systems 
are exact down to the hardware.

If I ftp the good machine from one of the others I get:

    Connected to xxxxxxxx.home.
220 (vsFTPd 2.3.2)
Name (xxxxxxxx:root): gary
530 This FTP server is anonymous only.
Login failed.

The 'gary' is my reply.

I am about to throw in the towel on this unless someone can come up with 
an answer. Very frunstrated.
