I installed the telnet server (using Yast2) and telnet now works but no luck
on ftp.
vsftpd was installed according to yast2 (marked with an i).
I also see the tcp wrappers marked with an i.
Is there any configuration that needs to be done? I wasn't sure if ftpusers,
ftpgroups etc had to be configured. The only file I have (default) is
ftpusers.

My first use of the list so be gentle...
I'll try :)
I just installed 8.0 and am trying to get basic network functions(telnet and ftp) working.
Just a thought - have you considered SSH/SCP as more secure options? You could use PuTTY (it's on the SuSE CDs under dosutils) on your Windows box.
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?
Do you have telnet-server and an FTP server (eg vsftpd) installed?
