So, I set up a web server Linux Mdrk 7 machine last week. It is fully
there and working, but one problem:
I can't get telnet or ftp to work, even from the konsole (telnet
localhost).
It keeps on with "connection refused by host".
My inetd.conf file points to telnet being serviced through tcpd to
in.telnetd as you would expect. There is no hosts.allow or hosts.deny
files present. This is the way mine is at home and I often telnet
localhost to run programs as root real easy.
So, after having read all the man pages, all I can think of is tcpd is
not allowing me through, but why? If possible, I'd like to leave tcpd
in the mix, but if not I'll just use straight in.telnetd if that works.
What else am i missing, something to do with hostname resolving?
Please help, I'm not sure what else it might be?
