telnet and ftp are controlled by xinitd. Look in /etc/xinitd.d/ for the config files. You should see the appropriately named config file. Look inside to make sure it is not disabled. Make sure wu-ftp, and telnet-server packages are installed. DISCLAIMER: installing telnet-server is an open invitation to getting hacked. I recommend installing SSH and removing telnet-server and telnet-client. http is run separately. /etc/rc3.d/S85httpd start If /etc/rc3.d/S85httpd is not there make sure it's installed with rpm -qa | grep apache Other hints are in this article: http://www.hawaiianharddrive.com/articleview.html?articleID=246 George Sir Edward James William wrote: > > How can I start my TELNET, FTP, HTTP daemons in Mandrake 7.2 > > Im having trouble.
