Larry, Secure systems are a pain, no? Anyway, check a couple things: 1. Check /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny. You want to deny first. hosts.deny should have a line like: ALL:ALL ...which means to deny all services to all clients Now allow all services from your workstation: ALL: ip-address or allow all services from all local and all on subnet 192.168.0.0: ALL: local 192.168 2. Check /etc/inetd.conf. You should have a line like this: ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.ftpd -l -a ...this tells inetd how to handle a ftp request.
