Subject: RE: [suse-sparc] Enabling FTP

    No ftp as root, just regular user acct on box.
    /etc/hosts.deny and .allow are not preventing access.
    No firewall (same lan, Linux firewalls disabled).
    kill -HUP PID of inetd after config changes.
    I'd use sftp but it's a Win2k box I need to conect to.
    I remember that there was another file that needed to be
    edited for ftp access in SuSE Linux, but I forgot, since
    it was a couple of years ago I did it last.

    sftp that is of course. Oh, forgot to ask: did you restart inetd after 
the change you made?
