[TriLUG] Changing Red Hat security settings

[William Sutton]

I have a Red Hat ES 2.1 server that I set up some time in distant memory 
(say 6 months ago).  When I set it up, I believe did the good admin policy 
of saying "no ftp".  Now it seems I need an ftp server on the system.  
I've (attempted to) install the rpms that came with the CDs (wu-ftpd?  
Even my RH9 system at home has vsftpd), but it doesn't seem to take.

Questions:
1.  Is this a security setting (I think so, but want to confirm)?
2.  If this is a security setting, how do I go about changing it?  What 
I've found via google says "redhat-config-security*", but neither the 
system nor its CD isos (which I kindly left on the hard disk for later 
usage) appear to have such a command (and rpmfind.net doesn't list any for 
ES 2.1)).
3.  Not related directly:  Which is preferable?  vsftpd or wu-ftpd?  If 
vsftpd, where can I get an rpm that will work on ES 2.1?

Thanks,

William Sutton
