Do you own a sledge hammer?

assumeing it worked beforehand
ipchains -D input -s 127.0.0.1/32 -i ! lo -j DENY
ftp 0
Does it connect now?
yes:
add this to /etc/ppp/ifup.local and chmod +x /etc/ppp/ifup.local
and remove the line from rc.local
ipchains -I input -i ! lo -s 127.0.0.1 -j DENY
if it doesn't work with this remove the ipchains commands from startup
files (as long as it's not a high secruity pc, your a home user if i
remeber correct) the vast majority of the few that can exploit this will
have little interest in a dynamic ppp machine.
no:
verify it works with blank/commented out hosts.[deny/allow]
still not working, verify /usr/sbin/in.ftpd exists if not maybe we forgot
to install or was removed install either wu-ftpd or BeroFTPD, and return
to top of email :)
let me know if it still refuses to work
