Hello,=20
Might be a simple one for many of you, but I kinda thought I had
this sorted.., not!=20
I thought I'd check the currently installed version of sendmail running
on a FreeBSD system here., and got this:=20
# date=20
Sun Jun 2 23:16:04 BST 2002=20
# exit=20
exit=20
$ telnet localhost 25=20
Trying ::1...=20
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused=20
Trying 127.0.0.1...=20
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Permission denied=20
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host=20
$=20
I then check /var/log/security, and see:=20
$ su=20
Password:=20
# tail /var/log/security=20

127.0.0.1:25 out via lo0=20
#=20
I check what tcpdmatch says about the user's priviledges:=20
$ tcpdmatch telnetd <user>=20
warning: telnetd: no such process name in /etc/inetd.conf=20
warning: <user>: hostname alias=20
warning: (official name: <domain name>)=20
client: hostname <host name>=20
client: address <ip>=20
server: process telnetd=20
matched: /etc/hosts.allow line <line number>=20
option: allow=20
access: granted=20
$=20
I alo noticed that I can't access via url: http://localhost:80 either -
I get the message: "The connection was refused when attempting to
contact localhost.".=20
So., what's the matter here? I'm happy to post more details if required
(as in firewall rules and such). Thanks to all those that might reply!=20
