[newbie] Telnet server doesn't start
Hello! I have a few questions regarding the Telnet and FTP servers. TOPIC 1 They don't run: I cannot connect, locally or remotely, to my system or FTP. Details: --They worked before, but then I fiddled around with inetd.conf and I don't remember what I turned off (commented out). --The 'telnet' and 'ftp' lines in inetd.conf exist, and are uncommented. --Everything else is commented out. Questions: End goal: How can I run these services again? 1) Do I need to add anything to inetd.conf? 2) WHERE are the FTP server and Telnet server executables? 3) Will I need to poke around in rc.d? 4) If there is an easy way, what is it? TOPIC 2 How can I change the port number for the FTP server? Where do I do this? Thank you very much!
[newbie] weird double icons in K menu

[newbie] what is linux-up?
I installed linux 6.1 and also lilo to go with it. At the lilo prompt there are 3 options that I can choose. There is "DOS", "linux", also "linux -up". Now, I don't know what's the difference between "linux" and "linux-up". Also, if I boot under "linux" I can't shutdown the machine as it would hang forever on the last message which is the "power off". On the contrary, the machine will shutdown normally if I boot under "linux-up". Can anybody explain this to me this?.

Dear friends:
Since My Bellsouth ADSL server occasionally is down, I decided to add an
external modem and connect to local Unix FreeNet here in New Orleans. I
was told that to connect to the Unix Free Net I will need a
communications program ("minicomm" was suggested but I could not find
it), and that way, I was told, I could connect to their computer by
dial-up vt100 or vt102.
I have looked at Tucows but couldn't find anything. I would like to use
the communications program in XWindows, that is, in konsole, if
necessary.
Would appreciate your help with this matter. Any recommendations?
Thanks so much.

[newbie] Networking Connectivity Problem
I've got a Windows 98 and LINUX box set up through an unmanaged hub. NIC cards and lo on both machines ping just fine. I can't seem to get the two to talk. Trying to ping the other machine, either way, fails. I've checked the hosts files, configured SAMBA and it's running, Windows networking can see itself and is enabled, protocols and all are fine. The obvious is fine, but for me obvious only goes so far. Pointers to places to look beyond the standard Networking, Net-3 and SAMBA HOWTO's? I'll check the archives again, but no luck there so far. The LINUX install went fairly well, had to do some minor fixing like what started on boot. Boot process is fine for all daemons and processes. Nothing says it's missing parts or pieces. I have root and one user login only. KDE is fine and I checked all configuration settings there also. If I get over this hurdle, the rest will be a piece of cake, (I hope). The current LINUX is 2-2-19mdk. Thanks for any and all help, pointers or encouragement. I've just about run out of thoughts on the subject. B. B.

I know this one must been asked thousands of times, but I just cannot figure it out. My Linux is behind a MS Proxy server, I tried using proxy server setting under Netscape but it always reports that "The system cannot find the file specified". On the Proxy server, we have IIS and proxy running and the port 80 is the proxy port. Please advise on where should I start looking for information on this issue. TIA Thanks Del Yang e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [newbie] how to use KDE?
You can Start KDE in two ways: The fist is typing startx at the command line: $startx other way is typing kdm at the command line: $kdm at the moment you´ll see a logon window and then you can select you windows manager. You´ll have more than kde. I hope you´ll enjoy. -Mensaje original- De: Joe Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Enviado el: martes 11 de enero de 2000 20:49 Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Asunto: [newbie] how to use KDE?

[newbie] Linux + Mainstream
Greets all! In real life i work at a Costco Warehouse, for those who dont know, its a warehouse store similar to Sam's Club. As i was walking the floor today i noticed that we started selling MacMillian(sp) Complete Linux 6.5. Right next to Win98 Upgd. How's that for mainstream? God grant Win98 boxes outnumbered Linux boxes by a factor greater than 2 to 1 but its a start eh?
