Hello everyone,

I installed a new 7.1 install and choose the option no firewall.

After the install I can not ftp or telnet to the server anymore, does anyone know why or how to get around this?

Thank you all
 
check the xinetd configuration files in
Code:
/etc/xinetd.d/
, and
Code:
 /etc/xinetd.conf

Thanks for your prompt reply.

I just like to mention that this is a new install of Redhat 7.1 and I have done that like on 3 systems with different configs but all of them show the same results {No FTP and TElnet possible).

So I think Redhat has changed some config files.

Anyways as you suggested I looked at the files (the config file) but to be honest, I don't know what to change. Any help?

Thanks much,
Sina
 
Here is something that works with REDHAT 7. VI the /etc/ftpusers file and put a # in front of the root (first listed). Then delete the /etc/securetty file. Those two allow ftp and telnet in redhat 7. James Collins
