I just installed a server at our colo, it came up fine but when I went back to the office I was unable to ssh or ftp in to the server. I know that on Solaris you can enable these utlities in /etc/inetd.conf, but I don't know were to make these changes using linux. Can anyone point me in the right direction.

Thanks,
RG
 
I commented out the ALL in hosts.deny, then I tried to ftp localhost and it worked. It seems like I just need the proper daemon name entry for hosts.allow.
 
in my log when I ftp in (i am using the wu-ftpd daemon as well), my log says the the deamon was ftpd so try this in your host.allow file

in.ftpd: ALL

*fingers crossed*
 
It Worked!! Thank you so much for all your help.
