Rebecca, The reason that they are not running is that they are not launched as daemons at startup.... For each session that is requested by a client, an ftp or telnet process is started by the inetd daemon(you should see this process running)... So you will not see the processes running unless someone is actually using FTP or telnet.... Also it may be that tcp-wrappers is preventing you from telneting or ftping into the box..... Check you hosts.allow and hosts.deny file... and make sure that you can resolve the name of the client..

After installation, I start up my machine and both programs are installed but neither are running. Why aren't they running? Is there a way to automatically start them every time my computer is powered up during the %post section? I have a second machine which I installed using the RedHat CDs. I have both telnet and wu-ftpd on this machine, both are running and I never had to do anything to get them running. What am I missing with my kickstart? Thanks!
