From: listmail AT alfheim DOT net (Ilsundal) Subject: Windows98 + inetutils 8 Sep 1998 15:04:09 -0700 Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com Hello, I'm not sure if any of this has passed through the list before, for I did not see anything relative in any of the recent archives, but I have a few questions on the inetutils package running under Windows98. First things first, here's something that's really been annoying me, the ftp client in inetutils is not functioning, here's what I get when I do the following: ether [1]:~# ftp ftp.sampleftphost.com ftp: fdopen failed. ftp> Does anybody have any suggestions on how to fix this problem? I'm a heavy user of console ftp, and the one provided by Windows does not seem to enjoy running under bash too well. Also, a few questions regarding inetd under Windows98; I've succesfully compiled all of the required binaries (aka, inetd.exe, telnetd.exe, etc), and can run inetd fine, but where exactly is it looking for a configuration file? If i simply create an /etc/inetd.conf will it look here, or is it reading it from somewhere else? I'm only wondering, because running it stock, it loads all services, I'm wondering where it's reading these services from. Also, as far as remote logins are concerned (obviously it will be for mere personal use) how is this controlled? Can I simply just setup an /etc/passwd, and /etc/group file, and when inetd is setup it will accept logins using the passwd file? Any information on any of this will be greatly appreciated -- I haven't found any web resources for configuring inetd under Windows '98.
