Problem with inbound TCP ports resolved (still working on Netscape, but
that's less urgent).
xinetd is the "launcher" daemon in use under 7.1, not inetd. xinetd uses a
directory called /etc/xinetd.d, which in turn contains a config file for
each of the services. By default, ALL SERVICES ARE DISABLED!!! I don't
know if this was true under 7.0 (which I was so recently running, and which
appeared to behave correctly) -- perhaps I ran through some setups that I
have since forgotten.
In any case, here's the config file for ftp, for example:
# default: on
# description: The wu-ftpd FTP server serves FTP connections. It uses \
# normal, unencrypted usernames and passwords for authentication.
service ftp
{
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.ftpd
server_args = -l -a
log_on_success += DURATION USERID
log_on_failure += USERID
nice = 10
disable = yes
}
Note the last line in this description (disable = yes). Change that "yes"
to a "no", then "/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart" (this "restart" bit was
something I screwed up before -- I just sent a HUP to xinetd, for some dumb
reason). The changed file(s) must be reread to take effect. *smack*
DUHHH...
:-)
