[TriLUG] vsftp on Redhat - no xinetd conf file

Am I crazy or is the vsftpd rpm package (In RedHat 9) missing the
xinetd.d config file?  I thought the first time around that I had simply
skipped a step, but I just installed it at another client (very
carefully) and the file does not seem to be included.

Any hints? (yes the docs *do* say to use inetd or xinetd with vsftpd).

Here's the file I end up using (cranked from hand):
======
# VSFTPD - Very Secure FTP Daemon
#
#
service ftp
{
   disable = no
   socket_type = stream
   wait = no
   user = root
   server = /usr/sbin/vsftpd
   log_on_success += DURATION
   nice = 10
}
