Hi guys

I made a right hash of things. My Slackware distribution didn't include the 
ipportfw command, so I found it on the web, downloaded it, and after a bit 
of hacking, I got it to compile. I didn't actually use it, though, as I 
don't have a man page. However, the download included some kernel patches, 
and I applied these. Then I had second thoughts (a bit late!) and 
unpatched, by finding the modified source and renaming .orig files back, 
and recompiling the kernel. Confused?

Here's the problem, Samba and telnet have stopped working. The samba 
daemons take try to start and then give up after perhaps two minutes. If I 
try to telnet in, I get a connection but the login prompt doesn't show for 
about three minutes.

Anyone got any ideas on the cause, or how to determine the cause? If need 
be, I'll reinstall, but the thought of loading all the patches, recompiling 
gcc, rebuilding the kernel, reloading the latest Apache etc, just wears me 
out.

Thanks

Neil
