It's in there, but I'm sure that's along the right lines because I can't telnet or rlogin to my machine from outside or even from inside when specifying 'localhost' as the destination. Could this mean that inetd.conf isn't being read? I do a 'ps -ax' and don't see any rlogind, telnetd, or anything of the sort. However, I do see inetd. Are all of the other daemons that start in inetd.conf bundled into the one inetd process? I also get ifconfig errors when booting that say that tun0 and lo0 don't exist. Here's the pertinent section of my /etc/sysconfig where I define lo0 and tun0: ---------- network_interfaces="lo0 tun0" ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost" ifconfig_tun0="inet spacehog.structured.net 206.58.0.100 netmask 0xffffff00" ---------- Note that the IP address in there is the Livingston Portmaster on the other side of my connection (pm2e10.structured.net). Is it appropriate to use the modem handler for a gateway? Does it mean anything that I have a /dev/tun0 but not a /dev/lo0? Here is where I define tun and ppp in my kernel. I know these definitions are correct because I had it working before... ---------- pseudo-device ppp 1 pseudo-device tun 1 ---------- BTW, I fooled around enough and got e-mail to send to my machine. I should remember to make more detailed notes next time I decide to reinstall! Thanks for your help! - Justin J.
