No ftp as root, just regular user acct on box. /etc/hosts.deny and .allow are not preventing access. No firewall (same lan, Linux firewalls disabled). kill -HUP PID of inetd after config changes. I'd use sftp but it's a Win2k box I need to conect to. I remember that there was another file that needed to be edited for ftp access in SuSE Linux, but I forgot, since it was a couple of years ago I did it last.
