unix issue, if someone can help
 

having a little problem with my unix server... and i can't get it to work right.

running FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE, using a dynamic ip. for some reason inetd isn't acting properly. i can use telnet over the network without problems (actually, i use puTTY, on ssh). ftp ports are open, but it won't finish a connection. connects, then asks for password (used both ie ftp and ws ftp le), says it can't connect.

this is also happening with HLDS. the program runs, i can see the server running in the list, but it doesn't list a map, and i can't connect to the game server. used to work just fine, but now the only connection i can successfully make is the ssh conenction with puTTY.

i dunno what's going on. nothing connects, but it's there. HLDS worked fine before... reconnected everything. not sure. if anyone has any ideas, i could use the help.

btw, i edited inetd.conf, uncommented the telnet and ftp lines in it (they were commented out), restarted, but still to no avail.

any ideas? thanks if you can help :):)

update
 

ws ftp says user access denied.... bleh...

my user is on the wheel.... dunno.

you need to look at your ftp logs... if it writes to the system logs then syslog should have your answer.

problem fixed, thanks :)
 

hrm. there was an "access denied" on ttyv0.

buuut... fixed the problem. just said screw it and reinstalled :)

there wasn't a whole lot on the install but hlds anyways... but now adminmod keeps wanting to be a little bitch. servers aren't always fun :).

thanks again.
