- I posted to comp.unix.admin about some ftp and talk problems I
- was having. The talk problem is fixed, but the ftp one persists.
-
- We're running SunOS 4.1.1. When you try to ftp from outside the
- domain (as a user, not anonymously), it says that login failed
- even before it asks for a password. I glanced at the manual, but
- have been unable to locate it today to take a more thorough look.
-
- Some things that have been suggested:
-
- 1.) The inetd.conf entry is correct. To be exact:
-
- ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/etc/in.ftp in.ftp
-
- 2.) /etc/ftpusers or /etc/shells do not exist.
-
- 3.) /etc/services contains the following two entries:
-
- ftp-data 20/tcp
- ftp 21/tcp
-
- Not only has the SunOS ftpd not worked, but I tried another one,
- which yielded the same results.
-
- Any other ideas about what could be wrong?
