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?

hi
I have around 9/10 machines in linux used for
computation
now we use xdmcp protocol for allowing any machine to
connect to any other machine on which a particular
user may have account.
Problem is with newly added RH 9.0 machines
that they are showing the other machines in xdmcp manu
but not themselves. so the xdmcp menu we get here on
all machines is still with old list.
HOw do i make sure that the newly added machines
show up in the xdmcp menu?

mail me cc of the reply

AFAICT, your config is fine; but does 'chkconfig --list' show your ftp
service
as active ('on')?

Since 'netstat -a' tells you that xinetd doesn't listen to port 21, you
could
be able to gather some more information from the logs: after a 'service
xinetd
restart', what do you find in /var/log/messages? If xinetd can't start
wu-ftpd,
you should find a trace of the reason there.

HTH,

Try vsftpd (very secure ftp)... less likely to get hacked or fubar'ed,
comes in an rpm (you're running a redhat machine, right?) and it's a
breeze to set up. Installing from sources on a redhat machine can be a
turkey shoot as redhat regularily decides that files belong where redhat
thinks they should go, not where the standards dictate. This in #2 on my
personal list of beefs with redhat.

If you insist on using wu-ftpd, then at least rebuild it from the source
rpm.

Which port, 20 or 21? Try opening both 20 and 21.

Go to .bash_history to check your work. You can also log all shell
activity to a different file, but /bash_history should be sufficient for
most cases.

Can you connect in with telnet localhost 21?
Does netstat -tuan show port 21 listening?
