Where is telnet and ftp ?

1998-04-07 Thread Gabrie van Zanten
Hi,

Can I telnet and ftp to my own computer? I tried pinging 192.168.1.1 (which
is this computer) but a ftp will not log me in, and a telnet either ?

Do I have to start a special demon ? And how should I do that ?

Gabrie

No, you just need to allow access.  By default, debian is set up to
deny access to machines it can't get a name for.  (You can see what
happened if you look at /var/log/daemon.log) You have at least
two options, then:

Add a line to /etc/hosts for every host that you will want to access
your machine from, something like this:
192.68.0.1  cushl.localnet cushl
192.68.0.2  wsw.localnet wsw

Or, you can change this default policy by commenting out the ALL:
PARANOID line in /etc/hosts.deny.  Then, any host will be able to
connect to your machine.
