Actually in RedHat if you look under /etc/xinetd.d/ you will find a bunch of files which are named after individual services, edit the files and remove the disable = yes line to enabe the service... if the service you want is not there you will have to write your own file using one of the existing ones as a template... go to www.xinetd.org for more information or if you need to do something out of the ordinary... -munir On Wed, 14 Nov 2001, Hvidsten, Leif wrote: > 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. > > David Cross > > > PRIVACY NOTICE: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain business confidential and privileged information.
