I did an update, not an upgrade. I shouldn't have to install a server since
it was working before I did the upgrade unless it removes the server, which
doesn't seem right. Anyway, I tried reinstalling ftp and telnet RPMS from
the 6.0 CD and it is working again. :-) Why the update screws it up I don't
know. Maybe Mandrake should look into this problem? Thanks for the help
everyone.
Regards,
Mike

You upgraded from 6.0 to 6.1?
if so, you might need to install the telnet-server rpm..
not sure if the upgrade catches that one and installs it
