I haven't done it under Fedora but I do use it under xinetd under RH9.
Make sure you specify:
"Listen = NO"
in vsftpd.conf
and "chkconfig --list | grep vsftp" should show all levels as
configured to "off"
"service vsftpd status" should also show the service as stopped
Here's a copy of my /etc/xinetd.d/vsftpd file:
service vsftp
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
type = UNLISTED
port = 21
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/vsftpd
server_args = /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
only_from = <myAllowedServerList>
}
