sudo is not working properly
This is the first time for using sudo for me.

Code:
# visudo
## Allows people in group admin to run all commands 
%admin  ALL=(ALL)       ALL
# groupadd admin
# useradd temp
# usermod -a -G admin temp
# id temp
uid=506(temp) gid=506(temp) groups=506(temp),507(admin)
#

Code:
#sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart       //  It's working
Shutting down vsftpd:                                      [  OK  ]
Starting vsftpd for vsftpd:                                [  OK  ]

Code:
#service vsftpd restart                      //It is not working


Code:
#vi /etc/hosts     // I can't edit

It is possible to edit all of the OS with sudo like root.
e.g I want to edit etc/hosts file and I want to run service commands like "service httpd status"

Below parameter is enough or not for full permission.

#visudo or #vi /etc/sudoers
Code:
## Allow root to run any commands anywhere
root    ALL=(ALL)       ALL
temp  ALL=(ALL)       ALL

## Allows people in group wheel to run all commands
# %wheel        ALL=(ALL)       ALL
%admin          ALL=(ALL)       ALL


THANKS

vsftpd

VSFTPD(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 						 VSFTPD(8)

NAME

     vsftpd -- Very Secure FTP Daemon

SYNOPSIS

     vsftpd [configuration file and / or options]

DESCRIPTION

     vsftpd is the Very Secure File Transfer Protocol Daemon. The server can be launched via a ``super-server'' such as inetd(8) or xinetd(8).
     Alternatively, vsftpd can be launched in standalone mode, in which case vsftpd itself will listen on the network. This latter mode is easier
     to use, and recommended. It is activated by setting listen=YES in /etc/vsftpd.conf.  Direct execution of the vsftpd binary will then launch
     the FTP service ready for immediate client connections.

OPTIONS

     An optional configuration file or files may be given on the command line. These files must be owned as root if running as root. Any command
     line option not starting with a "-" character is treated as a config file that will be loaded. Note that config files are loaded in the
     strict order that they are encountered on the command line.  If no config files are specified, the default configuration file of
     /etc/vsftpd.conf will be loaded, after all other command line options are processed.

     Supported options are:

     -v      Print the version information and exit, even if other options are encountered.

     -ooption=value
	     Set a single option, value pair as per the format in the config file. Multiple -o options are supported, and they are applied in
	     strict order relative to their appearance on the command line, including intermingling with loading of config files.

EXAMPLES

     vsftpd -olisten=NO /etc/vsftpd.conf -oftpd_banner=blah

     That example overrides vsftpd's built-in default for the "listen" option to be NO, but then loads /etc/vsftpd.conf which may override that
     setting. Finally, the "ftpd_banner" setting is set to "blah", which overrides any default vsftpd setting and any identical setting that was
     in the config file.

FILES

     /etc/vsftpd.conf

     vsftpd.conf(5)
