KJ. FWIW, I work in an environment with FreeBSD and Linux interacting many ways all the time. FreeBSD (x 2 boxes) here are 2.2-current, the box I talk to (connected via PPP) is Linux with a 2.0.24 kernel, and next to that box runs a dedicated news machine which runs FreeBSD 2.2-ALPHA, with NFS, ftp, telnet, ssh, rsh, rlogin and nntp used *often* between them. There are no problems at all doing any of this, nor have there ever been. Whatever the problem is, it is very doubtful that it is related to which operating system one system or the other machine runs, but almost definitely in how they are configured. Places to start looking are obviously on the Linux box, perhaps /etc/inetd.conf, to see which services are enabled or not as the case may be, and/or whether specific services may be being denied by tcpwrappers.
