Make sure that telnetd and ftpd are installed. You can do this by
putting the Mandrake cd in the drive, mounting it (mount /mnt/cdrom), going
into the RPMS dir (cd /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS), then trying to install the
rpm. I can't remember what it's called right off hand, but try typing
rpm -i telne<tab> and tab autocompletion will probably find it for you.
The other thing to do is check your /etc/inetd.conf file. There should
be two lines in them that start ftp and telnet, they will look something
like
#
telnetd -a lot of stuff
ftpd -a lot of stuff
#
if there is a # in front of them (#telnetd) then they are commented out so
they won't run. Remove the #, save the file, and type killall -HUP inetd
this should restart inetd and reload telnet and ftp servers if they are
installed.
