Hello jose,
I tried as you said...
I have ftp and telnet installed...
I followed your next step...of going to
linuxconf's=>
Server Tasks, Internet Services, Internet Server Database
they are enabled there...but
when I tell it accept...its reporting
in.ftpd not found in /usr/sbin/ directory...
I searched all filesystems...if there is anyfile of in.ftpd
or in.telnetd..
No such files .....
what do I do...please help me...
I think I am near the mistake to erase it...
what should be my next step...
thankyou for the time...
