hello all,
This is in reference to my problem of not being able to do
telnet,ftp .(two redhat 5.2 m.cs , one is a 486dx2 , second 686)
Both are connected by a single lan cable ...(no hub)
I will stress again that the following files are ok as
per NET3-HOWTO.
- /etc/inetd.conf (tcpd,telnetd .... uncommented)
- /etc/services (all services uncommented)
- /etc/host
- /etc/host.conf (order host,multi ..... )
- /etc/host.allow
- /etc/host.deny
- /etc/nsswitch.conf
- /etc/protocols
- dns files are ok , name server is running
properly
- the routing table has an entry for the network
(192.168.1.0) through eth0 (on both m/c's)
- inetd is running on both machines .
- i am able to do local telnet on each machine
- one m/c is 192.168.1.1 and other 192.168.1.5
(mask 255.255.255.0)
- m/c's ping each other
- tcpdump shows exchange of messages when i
initiate telnet/ftp from one m/c to another
- finally ftp/telnet timeout
I ran inetd in debug mode . When i do telnet from
second m/c , inetd reports the attempt after a delay (app 1 min)
whereas it reports local attempts immediately .
Then i decided to see the messages exchanged .
But tcpdump says operation not permitted when i use
the -s option to get say 100 bytes from each packet ....
How do i tackle this ......
I don;t know what i am missing .
I would be really greatful if somebody points out
where i am goofing up .....
bye ....
