I have no problem accessing linuxconf via a shell, but cannot do so via a browser. I have configured "/etc/xidentd.d/linuxconf-web" as such: > cat /etc/xinetd.d/linuxconf-web > # default: off > # description: The Linuxconf system can also be accessed via a web \ > # browser. Enabling this service will allow > connections to \ > # Linuxconf running in web UI mode. > service linuxconf > { > socket_type = stream > wait = yes > user = root > server = /sbin/linuxconf > server_args = --http > disable = no > } and done a "/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd/restart", but attempting to access "linuxconf-web" on my local machine at the local machine results in nothing but: > lynx http://localhost:98 > HTTP request sent; waiting for response. and then it just sits there. If I disable "linuxconf-web" via xinetd, then I get the following: > Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host. > > > Looking up localhost:98 > Making HTTP connection to localhost:98 > Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host. > > lynx: Can't access startfile http://localhost:98/ I can access "linuxconf-web" if I start it via a "/sbin/linuxconf --http -- debug" and point my web browser to it at port 8000. Linuxconf-web was broke (via xinetd) in RH 7.0 and I reported that. Anyone have a clue on how to get it to work properly in RH 7.1? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install linuxconf. 2. Allow web access (aka "linuxconf-web") by modifying the "/etc/xinetd.d/linuxconf-web" file from "disable = yes" to "disable = no". 3. Restart xinetd 4. Attempt to access linuxconf on port 98 via the local network via the browser of your choice. Actual Results: Just sits there. Expected Results: The linuxconf-web interface should pop up in the browser window.
