On Unix it's /etc/inetd.conf and just remove the '#' from in front of the port you want to enable. I think on RH 7.2 xinetd.conf is used, so it's probably just the same procedure; I'm new to Linux as well so I'm not totally sure. I think you'll want to reinitialize the inetd daemon afterwards. -----Original Message----- From: David Cross [mailto:dacross at nwc.edu] Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2001 8:19 AM To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org Subject: [TCLUG] Redhat 7.2 ports I'm pretty new to Linux, so please pardon me if a few links of the chain are missing. I've recently installed RH 7.2 and I was impressed to see that only one port is open compared to the twelve open ports of a default Windows 2000 installation. During the install I specified only medium firewall rules while selecting web and ftp ports to be open. However, those ports are not open. I've installed Apache to begin with but I can't reach it from outside the machine. What config file(s) do I need to edit to open those ports? Thanks in advance.
