bero and axalon:
this is the only thing i could see that looks like it 'may' pertain;
in the entire message file i didn't see that number 421 at all....
>421 service not available, remote server has closed connection
>This error message usually leaves a more detailed record of what >happened
>in /var/log/messages. What does it say?
/var/log/message:
Jul 6 21:35:56 localhost inetd[450]: execv /usr/sbin/in.identd:
No such file or directory
Jul 6 21:36:10 localhost pppd[397]: Terminating on signal 15.
Jul 6 21:36:10 localhost pppd[397]: Connection terminated.
Jul 6 21:36:10 localhost pppd[397]: Hangup (SIGHUP)
Jul 6 21:36:10 localhost pppd[397]: Exit.
do i need to create that file /usr/sbin/in.identd? and if so, what
goes in it?
/usr/sbin/in.ftpd does NOT exist.... but
/usr/sbin/in.tftpd does....
i even # out the hosts.deny/allow entries i had made and the ipchains
line axalon had me put in and got the same message....
i really appreciate all your help on this one.... i'd hate to pull my
favorite w95 trick and reinstall :-/
now what?
