Hi all --
I assume this is a response to Donald Welker's original and then follow-up query about
FTP and Telnet. I agree with Greg that
the config is quirky, but I disagree that it is a matter of login name/password on the
local machine. I was actually able to fix
FTP (but not Telnet) on my server by adjusting the allow/deny parts of the config.
Now I can and do FTP from windows and
Linux machines to the server even though one of the linux and none of the windows
machines has ever heard of root or the
name I usually go by when using the Linux Server.
For FTP, find the allow/deny portion of the config (I think that changing this is what
security actually does -- or at least one of
the things it does), and allow the machines you WANT to FTP from and make sure those
machines aren't denied. It should
work.
Now, can somebody tell me what to do to get Telnet to work? Uncommenting the daemons
in inetd.conf will get telnetd turned
on, so that a telnet command will connect to the server, but the server will then
refuse the connection.
