Samba permissions should have _nothing_ to do with telnet. If your firewall is blocking telnet traffic, you can restart telnet and xinetd all day, it'll still fail. ;) > At a minimum, you should be able to try: > > 'telnet localhost' and get a connection. > > Yes, I am able to do this successfully. OK, everything works as it should. Punch a hole in the firewall for telnet traffic, and everything should work fine. Where is the firewall machine? Is it the same machine that is running telnet, or another machine on the network. If it is the same machine, and you are running the default firewall installed and setup at installation time, you can modify it via 'setup'. As root, run 'setup' and select firewall configuration. Then, select 'customize', and 'allow incoming telnet'. That should do it, I believe. - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.{2,3}|8.0 in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+MMGCn/07WoAb/SsRAv+qAJ4qae88VQi5Ls4UBCpCx2yhb1OYFACeIn46 OoKpJxw9Qk1fyHy39wqQFoU= =192R -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
