I was gifted with an old comp from work and tried installing LM7.2 on it.
Everything during the install and all post install configuration went fine.
Started playing around with it since this is the only machine that i have
7.2 on (my others are running 7.1) and ran into a few snags.
The biggest one is that i cannot telnet into the box at all from anywhere. I
cant even telnet localhost. When i try it reports:
{fireman}$ telnet localhost
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
So i am assuming that there is some security setting somewhere that is
stopping me. Anyone have any ideas where or what it might be and how i can
turn it off?
Things i have checked so far:
/etc/inetd.cont -- the telnet line is uncommented here and looks correct
/etc/hosts.deny -- nothing in here except for commented out lines
/etc/hosts.allow -- same as above
ipchains -L -- no rules and all policiesset to accept
security level -- set to medium
Thanks in advance,
