check to see if there is anything in /etc/hosts.deny i think debian defaults to denying everyone access (could be wrong)
then either add your ips to /etc/hosts.allow, comment out the lines(reccomended) in hosts.deny (tweak it later) or rm hosts.deny hosts.allow/deny easiest way to add your stuff: ALL : 1.2.3.4 1.2.3. where 1.2.3.4 would be a full IP and 1.2.3. would be a class C block of addreses, this is different from firewalling where to do a class C you would do 1.2.3.0.(i get the 2 confused a lot). nate ----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Linux System Administrator http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336 http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By: http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMP http://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- On Fri, 22 Oct 1999, Evan Burkitt wrote: > I have just installed Debian 2.1 and need some advice on how to get FTP and > telnet working.
