Hi,       I installed redhat 8(psyche) recently and did so with the ftp option enabled. I am not sure what daemon it is. I am new to this environment. I can ftp out of the machine no problem but i cant ftp into the machine. I have checked the security permissioins and the firewall, which was also setup at installation time, is in the default position. As a result, no incoming traffic can get through. I have tried to customise by clicking that option and then enabling the ftp option. However when i click ok to this and go back into the security level windows nothing changed. So it seems i can not enable the ftp, or any incoming, traffic for that mater. I am logged in as root. Did i do something wrong on installation, i cant see where, or is there something i have to click to allow root to change the security level on the firewall?   thanks all   Alan Giltinan -------------------Legal Disclaimer--------------------------------------- The above electronic mail transmission is confidential and intended only for the person to whom it is addressed.
