Description kruggiero 1999-10-24 20:43:35 EDT

I install the machine with the "KDE Workstation" options.
When I log in as a normal user, I try to FTP to the local
host.  It connects, then hangs for a moment (without
offereing a chance for me to log in).  Then, it gives a
message: service not available, and quits.

FTP works to other sites for me.  FTP appears to be a
started service by looking at the inetd.conf file (it's not
commented out).

I am experiencing the same problem with the same symptoms. I also have this
problem with Telnet. These utilities worked fine a few days ago and since then,
I have installed a different monitor and have worked on getting a PPP connection
up and running.

What does the log file "/etc/messages" say?
Also try "telnet 127.0.0.1 21" and take a note about what it says...

Comment 3 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2000-02-17 14:38:59 EST

Workstation installs don't install an ftp server by default, so the behavior is
correct.
rpm -i /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/wu-ftpd-2.6.0-1.i386.rpm should fix this.
If you want to permit anonymous access, install the anonftp RPM as well.

If you have installed wu-ftpd and anonftp, feel free to reopen this bug.
