I have RH8.0 linux OS, installed wu-ftpd-2.6.2.8 and telnet-0.17-23
After I launch the "service configuration" box, these two server cannot be started, it shows "must enable xinetd to use this service", but I already started "xinetd".
is something else I missed?

need help.

thanks

hi there,

try this:

first, at command prompt, run

/etc/init.d/xinetd start

if not (unsuccessful), try below;

1. login as root
2. go to /etc/xinetd.d directory
3. vi telnet and modify "disable=yes" to "disable=no"
4. then, re-start (at command prompt)

/etc/init.d/xinetd start

5. run command "redhat-config-securitylevel", then click/check desired service/s to run, click OK

'hope it'll work for you.

also, pleasse take note you /etc/securetty - sometimes "pts" are not defined.  you can always add a line depending the number of connection you want, say;

pts/0
pts/1
:
:
pts/n

goodluck.

Hi, johny2K,

I checked "xinetd.d" folder, it's already set to "disable=no"

Also did "redhat-config-securitylevel" and restart xinetd

however on "service" box, I still cannot start "wu-ftp" and "telnet", the button is greyed out.

How can I start ftpd and telnet from command line?

thanks

michael

hi,

while using redhat-config-securitylevel:

1. select Customize instead of Use default firewall rules

2. tick/check eth0, then - it'll be accessible and you can tick/check services you want to have access.

you can try restarting the services in /etc/rc.d/init.d you will see a file per service if you do a more on the file you will see the command necc. to start the service.
