Re: [PLUG] redhat 7.0 and wu-ftpd
|
Most likely it means that you are not running identd, or that you have it
blocked by a firewall (either ipchains/iptables), or something further
upstream. Type
netstat -na | grep "tcp.*LISTEN"
and see if it says something is listening on port 113.
[pts/3] [1:10pm] [mark@helios]
[~] > netstat -na | grep "tcp.*LISTEN"
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
in my case, only port 22 is being listened on (sshd).
If you are not listening on port 113, you need to start identd (most
likely from xinitd).
If you ARE listening on port 113, try checking your firewall scripts to
see if you are blocking requests. I've not used Redhat 7.1 or xinitd, but
you may want to try their suggestion of disabling auth as well.
Lastly, make sure that the IP address you are coming from resolves to a
hostname. Type
nslookup xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
to check. If not, add a "fake" entry to /etc/hosts on ftp server.
If you still need help, reply back with the output of netstat -na | grep "tcp.*LISTEN"
and your firewall scripts, and I'll try to help your further.
