I just got finished setting up IP aliasing and masquerading. I need these
so that I can have a local subnet talk to the internet through one of my
machines with a direct internet connection. None of the machines have a
"real" address hence the need for ip aliasing.
Anyway, I don't know if there is a connection here or not: I can no longer
telnet to the machine I set the aliasing/masq up on! It was working as of
this morning. I get a message in /var/log/messages that says:
Mar 30 20:17:15 pickles syslog: error: cannot execute
/usr/sbin/in.telnetd: No such file or directory
now, in.telnetd is most certainly there, as it was this morning.
FTP "appears" to work, but after asking for username, password it kicks me
out, and says in /var/log/messages:
Mar 30 20:18:05 pickles ftpd[375]: open of pid file failed: No such file
or directory
again, very odd as this worked as recently as this morning.
So, any possible relation to ipmasq and ipaliasing? or any other cause of
this nasty problem?
