Hello everybody: I know I have a firewall installed by default in RH7.2.
I bought a book on Getting Started in RH7.2 and according to them if I wanted to enable FTP and Telnet access (which by default I do not have) I needed first to allow them from my firewall. I had to type, lokkit -f and then edit to allow FTP and Telnet. Then after that, I had to restart ipchains. Now, I did all of that and when I tried to ftp or telnet from Windows or Unix machines, I was refused. Following the thread on "FTP Issues" I realized that I only had the following packages installed, gftp-2.0.8-2 ftp-0.17-12 ncftp-3.0.3-6 which were not going to do the job according to what I read in that thread. Then I need wu-ftpd and/or pro-ftpd. I want to be clear then, just by installing those two packages I will be able to ftp to my linux box? What are the necessary ones to enable telnet? I only have telnet-0.17-20 installed (again default) Now, let's assume that I install the packages using "up2date". Do I have to enable the services or are they automatically started? Finally, do I have to specify which computers can do telnet/ftp to my linux box or can I telnet/ftp from any machine? Sorry for this long mail, Cesar __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
