Did you read my website with the screendump?.
Yes, I saw your screen dump. That's from YaST's System/System Services (Runlevel) screen, isn't it? The asterisk is worrying. What about YaST's Security & Users/Firewall screen? Does that say Start Firewall when booting or manually? Is the current status running or not? Is the Stop Firewall Now button enabled? If so, press it! Ok Dave. Yes its from YaST's System/System Services (Runlevel) screen. Here I have stopped firewalls before. I went in to the YaST's Security & Users/Firewall screen, where I have never been before. Here I could see, that the firewall was running as also the boot information told me. I switched it of according to your informations. What means the asterix ?
The xinetd is not started, and cannot be. I do the Firewall and xinetd start/stop from the Yast System System Services. I take it these comments refer to the problem system? So you're saying that if you type ps -fe | grep xinetd
This is from the ok system:
ps -fe | grep xinetd root 9177 9155 0 11:27 pts/3 00:00:00 grep xinetd
Hmm, if you're not running xinetd on the ok system then you don't need it on the other system either, I guess. So that leaves the firewall.
I'm not, and the other system runs ok now.
As some of the files are huge, and I'm not the best to figure out what has relation to the problem, I'm afraid of sending the files here.
Let's see what you find on the Firewall screen first. If that doesn't fix the problem, you can send me the files directly.
Yes Dave. Thanks to your information, I found out where the culprit was to be found, as my firewall is completely switched of now. I now can run WinScp to the -before- problem machine, and it was very nice. But was a hard nut to crack. Thank you very much for your help, and your patience. I'm very greatfull to you for your assistance.
Cheers, Dave
