New to this list, so hi all.

I have seen reports of this problem before, with no conclusive solution.

On a fresh 7.1 install, I can ftp localhost without a problem on the
box.
Remote ftp sessions connect, then are "closed by remote host".
syslog shows nothing interesting.

I have checked:
- hosts.allow/deny
- ftpaccess/ftpuser/etc
- ipchains

I've even watched tcpdump traffic and still don't see anything obvious.

One interesting thing - ftp to the box fails, but telnet to port 21
works, and I can login with USER and PASS and do a pwd.
Boggles the mind, doesn't it?

My coworkers urge me to just get an updated rpm or use proftpd, but I'd
like to know why this is failing.  I suspect something to do with
tcpwrappers and reverse lookups, but I'm not sure.  Like I said, I'm not
the first to see this problem.

Thanks.
