-----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Customer Support Sent: Monday, May 29, 2000 3:58 AM To: FreeBSD-Questions (E-mail) Subject: ftp & telnet Importance: High Hi I have just installed FreeBSD3.4 on a new server that I want to put online asap. My problem is that when I try to telnet or ftp to this server, the connection just sits and waits until it eventually times out. This happens when trying to connect from another FreeBSD machine (3.4 & 4.0) and also from a Win98 machine. All these machines are currently on a 192.168.* network and all other services (DNS, HTTPD etc)seem to work fine. Anyone have any ideas please? I am assuming that you can ping into this machine just fine, then. You could look at /etc/inetd.conf and make sure it has the lines ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/ftpd ftpd -l telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/telnetd telnetd Then you can check /etc/services for the following lines: ftp-data 20/tcp ftp-data 20/udp ftp 21/tcp ftp 21/udp telnet 23/tcp telnet 23/udp It seems somewhat odd to me that telnet and ftp don't work as they are enabled by default when you install FreeBSD. The other thing you could check is to try to telnet into the box and while you are doing that try #ps -aux |grep "telnetd" to see if inetd is spawning a telnetd. (and likewise for ftpd) That's all I can think of.
