ftp allow

[roycrom]

Really sorry about this - I know this is really simple and I should know but I just can't seem to find the file to allow ftp (and telnet?) connections. I'm sure its in /etc and I USED to know!! I'm using Solaris 8. I killed my ssh daemon to recompile and deleted my old openssh so now have no way of getting new ssh on to the box. I can log in as root on the console so I can get to any file. Just need to know what to change and where.

Thanks in advance, royrom )

correct me if i am wrong, but etc/services just defines ports

i think you want to allow telnet and ftp in /etc/inetd.conf

then HUP inetd

if you want to allow root to telnet the sun machine ,you can edit /etc/default/login .uncomment the line ahead with console.
And if you want to allow root to ftp the sun machine ,you can edit /etc/ftpusers and comment root

Yep, inetd.conf sorted it. Thanks to those who replied. I can breathe eaily again now.
