Hallo all,
well I have some problems with the network services and LM 7.2. I do not have a
network card, just want to use the loopback device lo.
I have activated the network service at startup, then I also have activated
xinetd and inetd at startup.
My first question, can inetd and xinetd run at the same time?
Now when my system boots, the lo device is NOT available.
I have to start it manually with
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 up
Afterwards I have some network services available:
Port State Service
21/tcp open ftp
22/tcp open ssh
80/tcp open http
443/tcp open https
1024/tcp open kdm
1025/tcp open listen
6000/tcp open X11
Then again I have to start inetd manually to add:
nntp
pop-3
telnet
I tried Webmin and it tells me under Hardware> NetConf> NetInterfaces
that device lo is available and ACTIVATED at boot time. Apparently all this
settings are ignored somehow. Someone suggested that I add the ifconfig line to
the startup scripts, but why do this, if the settings are already there, they
just get ignored.
I have an older LM 7.0 here to, and the device lo gets started by the network
service and no problems at all, just LM 7.2 ignores the settings. Can someone
help here and tell me how to enamble lo "the right way"?
Currently I have to do it manually and the settings indicate that it should work
automatically.
Thanx in advance
Andreas
