Problem: I can't telnet or ftp to FreeBSD box although I can work out of it fine, ping, traceroute, etc. The connection just hangs for a couple minutes, then tells me "cannot telnet..." When I run trafshow on the server, I do see request for telnet/ftp coming, but inetd (which _is_ running) does not react. (conf files are OK, telent and ftp are among allowed services). I looked over archives, it seem some people had very similar problem when reverse DNS lookup didn't work and FreeBSD couldn't lookup client. It is not the case, I can't telnet from hosts that can be nslookuped fine. Another person had the same problem and was advised to set tcp_extensions to "NO" in /etc/rc.conf It didn't help me :-( In other words, i searched up and low and cose to the end of the rope. Your help is greatly appreaciated. Regards, A.Heiphetz P.S. FreeBSD -3.0 -RELEASE. ...I used to run 2.2.6 and didn't have this problem there :-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
