Hi,


I get the following message:
"Connecting To <hostname> ...Could not open connection to host, on port 21:
Connect failed"

Thanks

And if you log into the server itself, and use the command:

telnet localhost 21

.... what do you see?

Also are any other inetd services working?

Ok, I see. Sorry about that.

On the local machine I get:
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

Thanks

There's something wrong with your inetd. I may be running, but it doesn't
appear to have the proper ports open.

If /etc/inetd.conf contains the proper lines, then it's possible someone
messed up that file, restarted or HUPped inetd, and then repaired the
file.

The command:

pfiles `pgrep inetd`

....will list what ports inetd has open.

Easiest thing to try is to try "pkill -1 inetd" to HUP inetd and see if
it opens the proper ports.

How long has inetd been running? What's the date when you grep for its
process?
