Bonjour Pierre. Thanks for the help.

listen=YES was already set
I had to add the line background=YES, as it wasn't in /etc/vsftpd.conf
Removed the "&" from line 11 in /etc/rc.d/vsftpd

Then tried /etc/rc.d/vsftpd start, and got a "fail", and thought that I still 
had problems.

A reboot though has started the vsftp daemon, and it now shows up 
in /var/run/daemons.

Thanks again for the help, and another thing I must write down in my notebook 
regarding specific Archlinux stuff.

Cordialement.

Nigel.
