Hi all, need some help with this one
The machine has 2 NIC's on connected to a local network, which full access
is required from , the other to a cable modem.
I need to be able to route and telnet in to this machine, as well as telnet
to localhost.
Telnet seems to be disbled.
any attempt to telnet to port 23 is refused , but I can ftp to it .
I checked in /usr/sbin and in.telnetd was missing, I've tried replacing the
missing deamon with one from a Redhat distro.
but still no telnet function.
I also need to be able to disable the firewall so I can run my on firewall
scripts for ipchains.
Ive moved from a Suse ditro as I'm fed up with yast rewrinting config files
at random. I like Mandrake but it fails in being too secure.
The immediate thing that must be got functional is routing and masq from the
LAN which has a 44.0.0.0 domain through to the internet.
One thing I do lkike is the ability to use fiixed ip adresses on one ethernet
port and dchp on the port connected to the cablemodem.
Or have I like with Suse to disable the dchp deamon and just use the client
after the first ethernet port is set up so that the second port eth1 can be
used with a fixed ip address..
urgent help needed here as a gateway is down at the moment.
TIA richard
