Hi there, Are you using tcpd wrappers? Whats in your /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny? Check out "man 5 hosts_access" Hope this helps. Kind regards, Simon John McLean wrote:
My first use of the list so be gentle...
I just installed 8.0 and am trying to get basic network functions(telnet and ftp) working.
I've attached the commands issued from an w2k machine's 'dos' window and the output from running inetd -d on the linux box. Any ideas on why I can ping but not telnet/ftp with no errors? Thanks, John McLean john.mclean@mindspring.com mailto:john.mclean@mindspring.com
