Oooh. Lack of attention to detail on my part. I didn't see all the "green oks." Good call stan. Andre

My only thought here is a bios or boot sector issue. Maybe it can't find a suitable boot device and is trying to boot over the network (NICs are usually the bios' last ditch effort to start the computer). Go into your bios and make sure it is trying to boot from the hard drive before the...

All good suggestions, but here's something online that's a little more thorough. Of course, security is something that never seems to be done, so my link is no more all-encompassing than the others. This link comes from cert.org, the kinda central hub of computer security...

As far as the RH7.2 specifics... iptables and ipchains are installed by default. You'll need to remove ipchains (rpm -e ipchains) to make iptables usable. Andre

I haven't tried XP yet, but I dual-boot win2k. First, if your bios is a little older, watch out for the 1024 cylinder limit (fit your /boot partition in the first 50MB of the disk). If your bios has the 1024 limit, linux won't boot without the small partition. If that doesn't make any sense...

Thank you both for the help. It turned out to be a problem with xinetd's logging, but I wouldn't have figured that out without your help. I'm curious now, however. Is there a way to stop swapping? I've never even considered trying. Andre

I'm running Redhat 7.0 w/ wu-ftpd 2.6.1-16. The system is a PII 450, with 128MB RAM. It's serving http requests for webmail (which doesn't get used much at all), e-mail, telnet, and ftp. The system does seem a little taxed, but I'm just chalking it up to trying to serve too much from too old...

Compaq is the work of the devil. I came to this conclusion through my own experience, and far too many people I talk to agree. I do have one Compaq server running Red Hat now, however, and it works fine. Dell's, IMO, are far better. They're customer support is awful, but the computers are...

I screwed that up... you should be typing in: rpm -q telnet-server not: rpm -q telnet

Check to make sure they're installed in the first place... as root, type: rpm -q telnet You should see something like: telnet-0.17-7 Then type: rpm -q wu-ftpd "this is, of course, assuming that you're using red hat's default ftp server, wu-ftpd" You should see something like...
