Hi
all, I have a tough problem that hopefully has a not so tough
solution. I'm trying to setup a simple ftp server on Red Hat 7.2 and I
can't get beyond "connection" refused when trying to connect externally.
I've read every FAQ and online guide I can and I can't figure out why.
The big clue I think is that netstat -a says that ftp is not being listened on. /etc/services looks ok to me (ftp is on port 21 for both UDP and TCP), I added the ftp service in /etc/xinet.d/ftp and restarted xinetd, so I'm not sure what could be inhibiting ftpd. Here's my config from /etc/xinet.d/ftp: service ftp { disable = no socket_type = stream wait = no nice = 10 user = root server = /usr/sbin/in.ftpd server_args = -l instances = 4 log_on_sucess += DURATION HOST USERID } I modified /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny too. I wasn't sure about hosts.allow so I copied the working nfs stuff to a new line and changed it: in.ftpd: 10.0.0.0/255.255.255.224 which is just like the entries for mountd, statd, etc. Not sure what else to say. Here's the long story summarized: 1. Dowloaded wu-ftp and built it with ./configure and make 2. Created /usr/ftp and the little jail for it to run in. 3. Check the firewall to make sure it didn't reject ftp. 4. Made changed to /etc/xinetd.d/ftp above and hosts files. 5. Restarted xinetd There maybe a few other things I did, this is what I recall for now. I did a tcpdump trace of the connect attempt, the packets are reaching the server and it replies, but the replies are all R (resets). I think this is related to the fact that xinetd doesn't think it has something to run on port 21 (ftp port). Help? What could I be missing? |
