 check inetd.conf or xinetd.conf if you use xinetd for
 the telnet service. make sure telnetd is installed
 (that is if you really want it). as for ftp there
 is ftpds that run both inside inetd(e.g. ftpd) and
 ftpds that can run outside of inetd(e.g. proftpd)
 so check what ftpd you have installed and reconfigure
 it in inetd.conf/xinetd.conf or if you have proftpd,
 proftpd.conf if you really want ftpd running.
 
 as for plip, i have never used it, can't imagine
 a situation where i'd ever need it so ..can't
 really help you there.

On neither of these machines does /etc/identd.conf say anything about
telnet or ftp. I'm giving up on plip, at least for the present; I've
spent the best part of 3 days on it, reading HOWTOs until I'm
cross-eyed, and can't afford to have my parallel port locked up all the
time. I thought it would be a good way of backing stuff up but it seems
to be too difficult to be practical.

 a quick fix would probably be to comment out all lines in
 /etc/hosts.deny,

Adding a line to hosts.allow would be much better!

 or comment out the exim line in inetd.conf and restart exim by
 /etc/init.d/exim start. i prefer not to run mtas from inetd. playing
 with hosts.allow/deny can be risky you can open your system to unwanted

You just suggested a way to open a system in this way.

telnet ...Connection refused

2001-01-14 Thread Debian User
Hello all.

I have been trying to set up my 'email' system
on my computer, on which I recently installed
Debian 2.2r0.

I intend to use exim, procmail, fetchmail, and mutt.

At the moment I am having problems with fetchmail or 
is it with exim or [...fill the space yourself...].

I have been trying to telnet localhost 25 but to no 
avail all I get is 

Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

or

Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

I have used the above setup before (on a machine which used slink) 
without much problems and as for as I know my configuration is 
pretty much the same.

In /etc/exim.conf I have 
local_domains = localhost:debian  and
host_accept_relay = localhost

In /etc/inetd.conf I have
smtpstream  tcp waitmail/usr/sbin/exim 
exim -bs

Can anyone offer any pointers as to how I could solve this
problem or how I could troubleshoot this problem.
 
TIA

T:Irvine

access to your machine(i ditch hosts.allow/deny and go straight for
ipchains on my systems).

 Trying 127.0.0.1...
 telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

im guessing you just did  'telnet localhost' there and did not specify
the port, on many systems telnetd isnt installed by default, if
you want it you must apt-get install telnetd.

Mine is this:

For exim.conf, I just ran eximconfig and answered the questions.

Hi,

I have the following problem:

I can telnet, ftp and rlogin from my debian 1.3 box to other machines

I am using wu-ftpd 2.4-27. If I try to telnet, I get the following:
telnet : Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

Any help is appreciated
John

What output do you get when you do:

rulcmc:~$ grep telnet /etc/inetd.conf
telnet  stream  tcp nowait  root/usr/sbin/tcpd  
/usr/sbin/in.telnetd
rulcmc:~$ grep ^telnet /etc/services

Yes, my /etc/inetd.conf had no services in it excempt from the ftp which
I have installed recently. I fixed it with the help of Lindsay Allen.

Thanks for the help
