Hi Scott, Are you trying to login as 'root' or somebody else? When you FTP or Telnet to your Linuxes IP address - do you get the login prompt (so your connection is good)? Try logging in as somebody other than root. Take a look at /etc/security/access.conf and make sure you are enabling logins.

I am using a VM guest id that works fine with SuSE 7.0. The /etc/xinetd.d config files for telnet, rsh, rlogin all have disable=yes. I changed them to disable=no (I am behind a firewall) and did both 'service xinetd restart' and rebooted, but I still get 'connection refused' when trying to login using any of the services. Is it intended with the default install to not be able to do a network login? I can ping the RedHat system's IP address fine from everywhere that I need to access the system. Thanks, Scott Ledbetter StorageTek
