- I'm having problems ftp'ing to my linux machine. I have a 486/33
- running 0.98pl4. I've made all the necessary changes to /usr/etc/inet
- services, inetd.conf etc. etc but when I try to ftp to the machine
- i get the following,
-
- $ ftp fiddle
- Connected to fiddle.geophys.mcgill.ca
- 421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
-
- I guess my question is - Are there any security options that I'm
- overlooking? Like inetd.sec or something like that.
-
- Also, if I try to telnet to fiddle and login as root the machine
- refuses, but I am able to login and then su, no problem. Is there
- any way to get around this?
-
- Thanks in advance.
