[lug] How do you start telnet and ftp services?

[PC Drew]

Thus spake Glenn Murray on Thursday, September 14, 2000, 1:52:11 PM:

GM> Hi,

GM> I have Debian 2.2 with the ftp, telnet, and telnetd packages
GM> installed.  

GM> Bash cannot find ftp; i.e., "which ftp" returns nothing.
GM> Ncftp and gftp work, but where is plain ol' ftp?

I don't know why that wouldn't work...try this:

% find / -name 'ftp' -print

GM> Telnet works as a client, but now I'd like to telnet into
GM> this machine, and "ps -ef | grep telnet" returns nothing,
GM> and there is no "telnet" in /etc/init.d.  I tried taking
GM> down the firewall, but that didn't work either.

have a look in /etc/inetd.conf then do a "man inetd"

GM> Thanks,
GM> Glenn
