I disabled the contents of hosts.deny. I can ftp fine to 127.0.0.1,
also to the specific IP address, as well as to the FQDN.
The telnet line in /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf is identical
to another machine that is functioning.
When I ssh the server adds the host key and requests the user pw,
then reports "Permission denied".
