I have posted information about this in my vsftpd thread. I would have left it at that thread, but I feel this is a larger issue now as a lot more things are broken with xinetd failing to restart.
I don't see what it could be as I have completely abandoned vsftpd for the moment and it still won't restart.
The error log looked like this while trying to run vsftpd, when I took out the vsftpd file from the /xinetd.d/ directory, it looks the same except the last 3 lines go away (and of course the line in the middle about loading vsftpd). Any idea what might have went wrong?
If it's this easy to break something and be unable to at least revert to its original form, I have a feeling I am going to be seriously screwed.
