I was restarting xinetd just in case. Process of elimination.
Results of Verify: S.5....T c /etc/vsftpd.ftpusers S.5....T c /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf .M...UG. /var/ftp .M...UG. /var/ftp/pub
Results of Netstat:
tcp 0 0 *:ftp *:* LISTEN 1557/xinetd
Ftp user is in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow
Ftp directory is correct.
Replaced the config file with one straight out of the rpm, unchanged, and started the service.
service vsftpd status - vsftpd dead but subsys locked.
This is just crazy. I think I am going to remove the vsftpd and reinstall it. Hopefully it will be easy with the rpm manager.
Any other ideas?

Normally, I won't reply to HTML messages since they are automatically moved to my trash folder or even to /dev/null. So in case you reply with HTML, it is likely that I won't see your reply.

Why restart xinetd? In Red Hat Linux 9 vsftpd runs as a standalone daemon.

First of all, verify the vsftpd package integrity:
rpm --verify vsftpd
Then stop the service:
service vsftpd stop
Look if the ftp port is free:
netstat -tpa | grep ftp
Verify that you have user "ftp" in /etc/passwd (and /etc/shadow). Verify ftp's home directory.
Then -- although you write you've done this already -- start with a config file that is known to be 100% error-free. Simple mistakes like a coment '#' removed from the beginning of a comment-line can be enough to confuse vsftpd.
service vsftpd start
What do you get?
