User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (Windows NT 5.0; U)

Description of problem:


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Allow linuxconf-web access via xinetd (i.e., edit/reload "/etc/xinetd.d/linuxweb-conf").
2.  Use your web browser to access linuxconf (i.e., "lynx http://localhost:98").
3.  Select START.
4.  Enter username/password combo.
5.  Select NETWORKING under CONFIG.
6.  Select LINUXCONF NETWORK ACCESS under MISC.
7.  Do something (e.g., Select ENABLE NETWORK ACCESS).
8.  Select ACCEPT.



Actual Results:  1. An alert pops up (Under Netscape, it's "The document contained no data.  Try again later, or contact the server's 
administrator").
2. Try selecting ACCEPT again and another alert pops up (Under Netscape, "Netscape is unable to locate the server localhost:98, Please 
check the server name and try again".
3.  Linuxconf-web will no longer respond to requests (The above error on [2] on the line above pops up) until you restart/reload xinetd (i.e., 
"/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd reload").

Expected Results:  Linuxconf-web should have accepted the option and continued working.

Additional info:  It doesn't matter what you select really.  Once you hit an ACCEPT button, linuxconf-web stops responding.

The fix listed on bug #23560 listed below does *NOT* fix the problem; that is the problem *STILL* exists even after upgrading xinetd as indicated below:

Comment 3 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2001-05-08 14:34:20 UTC 
Yes, it does. If you're still having problems, you probably haven't enabled it
in the config file (/etc/xinetd.d/linuxconf-web) and inside linuxconf (or there
are other setup issues, like firewalls or other access control mechanisms).
