Hi all, I have a tough problem that hopefully has a not so tough
solution. I'm trying to setup a simple ftp server on Red Hat 7.2 and I
can't get beyond "connection" refused when trying to connect externally.
I've read every FAQ and online guide I can and I can't figure out why.
The big clue I think is that netstat -a says that ftp is not being
listened on. /etc/services looks ok to me (ftp is on port 21 for both
UDP and TCP), I added the ftp service in /etc/xinet.d/ftp and restarted
xinetd, so I'm not sure what could be inhibiting ftpd. Here's my config
from /etc/xinet.d/ftp:
service ftp {
disable = no
socket_type = stream
wait = no
nice = 10
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.ftpd
server_args = -l
instances = 4
log_on_sucess += DURATION HOST USERID
}
I modified /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny too. I wasn't sure
about hosts.allow so I copied the working nfs stuff to a new line and
changed it:
in.ftpd: 10.0.0.0/255.255.255.224
which is just like the entries for mountd, statd, etc.
Not sure what else to say. Here's the long story summarized:
1. Dowloaded wu-ftp and built it with ./configure and make
2. Created /usr/ftp and the little jail for it to run in.
3. Check the firewall to make sure it didn't reject ftp.
4. Made changed to /etc/xinetd.d/ftp above and hosts files.
5. Restarted xinetd
There maybe a few other things I did, this is what I recall for now.
I did a tcpdump trace of the connect attempt, the packets are reaching
the server and it replies, but the replies are all R (resets). I think
this is related to the fact that xinetd doesn't think it has something
to run on port 21 (ftp port).
Help? What could I be missing?
