Try:
# chkconfig --list inet
inet 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
- this says that inet daemon is available for run levels 3-5.
- if they are off, then issue
# chkconfig --levels 345 --add inet
- and to be sure it is started...
# service inet restart
Beyond that, check your /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny files and be damn
sure you are restricted access to everyone but the machines you trust.
Make sure that you have the telnet server installed
# rpm -qa | grep telnet
telnet-server-0.16-4mdk
Make sure that you have the *latest* wu-ftp*.rpm, otherwise you WILL be *rooted*.
# rpm -qa | grep wu-
wu-ftpd-2.6.1-7mdk
Thanks... Dan.
