I had a big DUH moment just now. My /etc/hosts.deny read like this
ALL:ALL except localhost: DENY
before I deleted that line. Now, telnet works splendidly:
[pma@paarestad pma]$ telnet localhost
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain.
Escape character is '^]'.
Welcome to Linux-Mandrake
-------------------------
login: pma
Password:
Last login: Sun Aug 20 23:00:42 from localhost.localdomain
You have mail.
[pma@paarestad pma]$
but ssh is still acting up, even after I made the above change:
[pma@paarestad pma]$ ssh localhost
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password:
Last login: Sun Aug 20 22:57:57 2000 from localhost.localdomain
Connection to localhost.localdomain closed.
[pma@paarestad pma]$
At least it is now asking for my password, but it closes immediately
after successful login. I'd be ok w/telnet, but I'd like to get ssh
working for security purposes. We're almost there, though...
