 ftp 421 remote service not available
Dear All,

 Two redhat box's p75 - full install from cdrom of rhcl 3.0.3
                  p120  upgrade from rhcl 2.1 to rh3.0.3

the p120 also has the advantage of the latest rpm's.

i cannot see for the life of me, why i cannot ftp between the two
boxs, root or user comes back with

421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection

/etc   hosts,hosts.allow, hosts.deny all seem correct

ping works both ways with the packet count incrementing on both
machines.

Telnet p120.flat3 from p75 gives

Connection closed by foreign host

I used to be able to ftp from a rh2.1 setup to a slackware 2.3 one,
but not the other way.

Any help would be appreciated.

Stephen Parkinson

Sounds most likely your tcp wrappers incorrectly setup, make sure the
entries in inetd.conf match /etc/hosts.{allow,deny}, the most common
problem is the 'in.' where there should be one, or there's one missing.

Looks even more likely, by default tcp wrappers log to where mail does,
so try /var/{adm,log,whatever it is for linux}/maillog.

Netscape does news, yes.  But I prefer to use knews. :)

I've used tcp wrappers a lot, so have experienced these problems before.
