Hello, Lets start at the beginning:
vsd-install: This checks /etc/services for a reference to vsd, if it finds it it presumes that it is already installed and won't go any further. During your source install, vsd would have written everyhing to /usr/local/etc/vsd (the default configure option), and the rpm reads everything from /etc/vsd so the RPM installation wouldn't know anything about you're previous installation. Now to start the tidy up: /etc/[x]inetd.conf: VSD virtualises various services that are used by the virtual servers, to prevent this virtualisation you'll need to remove the references to virtuald (for complete cleaning), or change the references from /usr/local/sbin/virtuald to /usr/sbin/virtuald (to patch). These are the two important steps, everything else is just shifting configuration from /usr/local/etc/vsd to /etc/vsd. Let me know how you get on, Damion.
