Have you checked your /etc/hosts.deny file on the RH 6.x machine at work to
be sure your not denying access. Also check your inetd.conf to be sure that
ftp line is not commented out. You say you telneted in before and had no
problem so I would not think that would be a problem. Can you login as any
other user? Also in the /etc/passwd file is your shell setup to allow login
or in other words is it not set to /dev/null or /bin/false? I usually see
/bin/bash to allow telnet on my own machine. If this is all ok have you
tried creating another user just to see if you could login with that
username and password? I will probably think of more I have ran into later
but check those first and see if that gives you your fix. If hosts.deny is
set to deny an IP that person logging in will usually get connection refused
so it may not be that either. I wonder if something has changed in pam.d to
cause this. What does /var/log/messages and /var/log/secure say on the
machine at work when you try this?
