SUSE Linux

**jeager** · 10-29-2004, 03:30 PM

Not exactly sure how to present this. However,

ops: In the local LAN consisting of several O/S's (SCO Linux, Windows, Trustix), the SuSE machine name is not shown in the WinTel Network window for selection.
ops: I can ftp out but the inbound connections are refused.
ops: Must all printer names begin with an alpha character for yast?, because I have several beginning with numerics.

Should any additional info be required, just give me a buzz.

TIA

Is samba setup on this machine?

And is the FTP Daemon running?

ops: Samba probably is NOT set up. Here's the reading from netstat:
elbert:/etc # netstat -at
Active Internet connections (servers and established)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State
tcp 0 0 *:login *:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 *rinter *:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 *:microtalon-dis *:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 *:netbios-ns *:* LISTEN

elbert:/etc #

Is Samba difficult to set up and run? :?:

i would actually think samba is set up, because your listening on netbios-* ports

**jeager** · 10-29-2004, 07:44 PM

That being the case, then what might the reason be that ftp out works and ftp in does not?

**maccorin** · 10-29-2004, 07:47 PM

1) ftp has nothing to do with samba

2) what's interesting is according to netstat you are listening on the ftp port

do you have a firewall running? If you don't know just post the output of

Code:

# iptables -L

**jeager** · 10-29-2004, 07:54 PM

Here tiz:
elbert:/etc # iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
elbert:/etc #

**maccorin** · 10-29-2004, 08:03 PM

hmmm... so no firewall, i wonder what really is listening on port 21

could you post the output of

Code:

# netstat -lap | grep -i ftp

**jeager** · 10-29-2004, 08:08 PM

Let me begin by saying thanks for taking the trouble to look at all this stuff. Here tiz:
elbert:/etc # netstat -lap | grep ftp
tcp 0 0 *:ftp *:* LISTEN 9368/inetd
elbert:/etc #

ok, i'm guessing Suse sets up ftpd to be called by inetd, you can verify this with

Code:

# cat /etc/inetd.conf | grep -i ftp

i don't understand why you can't access it though if that is the case

actually, can you post the output of the above command? Also are you _sure_ there isn't another firewall somewhere in the way of accessing ftp on this box?

Is it on the lan, or through the net? some isp block port 21.
