Pretty much means what it says: it can't contact the server to set the
forward/vacation.

Actually it isn't needed unless that is how you choose to implement it.
Given your comments above, I'd say that in your case it would be needed.

Install the ftp server from the RedHat distro.  It should be called
wu-ftpd.

Most likely.

Grab the wu-ftpd rpm from the cd-rom or the RedHat site.  Install it.
Enable it with something like: /sbin/chkconfig wu-ftpd on
Then edit your /etc/hosts.allow file and add something like:

in.ftpd: 127.0.0.1 : allow
