There are several places where things can go wrong. Here are some |
| 11 |
boobytraps that I've found out about "the hard way". Put it this |
| 12 |
way... doing things right comes from experience... "experience" comes |
| 13 |
from doing things wrong<g>. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
- are you sure you're running ftpd on the target machine? |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
- check the logs on both machines to ensure that neither one is |
| 18 |
rejecting packets from the other by iptables rules |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
- post the output of "grep -v ^# /etc/hosts" and "ifconfig eth0" and |
| 21 |
"route -n" from both machines |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
- I've run into some "paranoid" ftpd daemons that need |
| 24 |
/etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny to be set up with proper |
| 25 |
entries *EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT RUNNING INETD*. Apparently, that ftp |
| 26 |
daemon reads hosts.allow and hosts.deny follows their rules. Try |
| 27 |
"emerge -pv" on your ftp program, and check the flags. |
