vsftpd - a necessary change in vsftpd.conf if it runs with xinetd

In case some one is searching the forum for a solution (I've also edited the Wiki):

In earlier versions it has been necessary to leave the following as it is:

# Use this to use vsftpd in standalone mode, otherwise it runs through (x)inetd
# listen= YES

In versions 2.1.0 this might result in the following error when connecting from a ftp-client:

500 OOPS: could not bind listening IPv4 socket

All that's needed is to correct /etc/vsftpd.conf like this:

# Use this to use vsftpd in standalone mode, otherwise it runs through (x)inetd
listen= NO
