my service config gui lockes up when I start vsftpd, but I can see it's running. After I kill it then the gui comes out of lock and says it started fine (but I just killed it). But the gui says "vsftpd dead but subsys locked" in the status window. So I just start stop it manually and works find that way: [root@blabla root]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/vsftpd start Starting vsftpd for vsftpd: [ OK ] [root@blabla root]# pgrep -l ftp 12346 vsftpd [root@blabla root]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/vsftpd stop Shutting down vsftpd: [ OK ] [root@blabla root]# pgrep -l ftp I've tried some google fixes, but nothing so far. I've also tried deleting entries in /var/lock/subsys, still no good. Also my httpd gui won't come up, I get an "unknown error". Same results if I start it from command line. This is all after upgrading from RH9 to Feodra. Any ideas? Thanks.
