Hi, 

I'm running Mandrake 7.1 on one of my old machines and 
I'm trying to get the FTP server to work (yes, it's installed):

On the machine, when I say
        ftp 127.0.0.1
the client session that I've just started says 
        Connected to 127.0.0.1
and then just sits there doing nothing (my guess is it's 
waiting for a response from the server). 

/var/log/secure shows:
        <date> <machine> in.ftpd[1184]: connect from 127.0.0.1

but I never get a login prompt and nothing else ever 
seems to happen. 

A little while after I stop/kill the client FTP session, 
/var/log/messages shows: 
        lost connection to localhost [127.0.0.1]
        FTP session closed 

Just for kicks, I've tried telnet and it work fine ...

Thanks for any advice
--> Robert
