Kasuma,
The reason you cannot telnet or ftp is that the inetd daemon is not
running. Even when off the 'net', telnet, ftp and many other daemons are
started by the inetd daemon. Think of inetd as a supervisor daemon.
You can get inetd or a similar package called xinetd ( which I use ).
The inetd daemon comes with netbase so you should have it. The xinetd
daemon has it's own package and is called xinetd ( what else :)).
Hope this helps.
Myron.
.sig is not available right now. Leave you name, number and something
inspirational after the dotted line and it will get back to you as soon as
possible.
