Hi --
You're having the same trouble I had/have. There's a part of your inetd.conf (I
think) file where it allows you to allow or deny
access to various IP numbers. Take a look at these. Uncommenting the lines in
inetd.conf just starts the daemons. However,
you probably have the default status of denying access to all workstations. Remove
this denial. This should allow FTP. At
least it did for me. Alas it probably won't allow telnet (at least it didn't for me).
Can anybody out there tell us BOTH how to
enable telnet to work?
