Hi, Cannot ftp to myself - anonymous ftp works though. I also did a test with "telnet linuxbox 6XXXX" and does not work either: "Connection refused". It does work in a different machine with Unixwere. I expect to login and get two message lines like these: "Connected to <machine_name>" and "Escape character is '^]'". When I do an "ftp linuxbox" I get the loging prompt for user name and password which I enter but displays the message "530 Login incorrect". I am sure the password is correct because I can telnet on port 23 fine. /etc/xinetd.d/ftpd currently has "disable = no"; before it had "desable = yes" and the error was different "XXX Authentication failed". I wander if I have to change something in the /etc/xinetd.d/pure-ftpd file. This file does not have any "desable" option. There is a "server_args" option but no idea of what to put in there. "finger userx@linuxbox" to myself works fine "telnet linuxbox" works fine (port 23) "telnet linuxbox 79" works fine "telnet linuxbox 1474" does not work "telnet linuxbox 5428" does not work "telnet linuxbox 6????" does not work "ftp otherbox" from myself (linuxbox) works fine "ftp linuxbox" from otherbox does not work "ftp linuxbox" from myself (linuxbox) does not work anonymous ftp to myself works fine. Any ideas? Hugo
