No need to enable telnet in inetd.conf if you're just using it to test a tcp connection to another host, that's only if you want to be able to log on to the host from another machine using telnet. > > telnet tao 25 > Trying 10.0.0.247... > telnet: connect to address 10.0.0.247: Connection refused > telnet: Unable to connect to remote host > > Could I be missing something in rc.conf? > Hmm you should get a basic connection, on tao whats the output of sockstat -4 |grep :25 I get root sendmail 651 3 tcp4 *:25 *:* i.e. is sendmail actualy running ? if yes, is it listening on any ip other than 127.0.0.1 ? (mine is listening on *) If still yes then do you have a firewall or tcpwrappers blocking access ? Assuming base sendmail (not ports) what is the output of grep sendmail /etc/rc.conf (should be sendmail_enable="YES" unless you are using sendmail from ports) Vince > gary > > > > > > -- > Gary Kline [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.thought.org > Public service Unix > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
