I'm starting to tailor SLES10 with SP1. I first bring in VSFTPD. However, when I try to FTP to SLES10 from DOS, I get the following on the console:
SFW2-INext-DROP-DEFLT IN=eth0 OUT= MAC= SRC=192.168.3.20 DST=192.168.193.150 LEN =48 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=127 ID=15462 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=1187 DPT=21 WINDOW=6553 5 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 OPT (020405B401010402) SFW2-INext-DROP-DEFLT IN=eth0 OUT= MAC= SRC=192.168.3.20 DST=192.168.193.150 LEN =48 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=127 ID=15467 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=1187 DPT=21 WINDOW=6553 5 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 OPT (020405B401010402) SFW2-INext-DROP-DEFLT IN=eth0 OUT= MAC= SRC=192.168.193.150 DST=239.255.255.253 LEN=77 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=8 ID=0 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=1027 DPT=427 LEN=57 C:\>>ftp 192.168.193.150 > ftp: connect :Unknown error number ftp> So I turn off the firewall, now I get: Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

C:\>> SLES10 seems to have a lot more packages running as a default. Some of them may be good, some I'm not so sure of. Currently I call the new stuff "crap" (crap is a technical term that means something that I don't understand, yet) This firewall thing, may be of some interest. Currently, I don' understand the need within a mainframe environment. The Network group has fire walls, surrounding the building anyway. Anyway, how do I make FTP work again? BTW, someone spent a lot of time on the Installation and Administration manual. Has a lot of interesting stuff in there. Perhaps, to be consistent about it, it has a lot of interesting crap in there. <G> Tom Duerbusch THD Consulting ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
