Hi

In RedHat linux you need to check if you have the ftp rpm installed and enable it. Telnet can be enabled.SSH is enabled by default on the OS.

Sorry, I don't remember the right steps for Red Hat 9, it's very old. Is there a reason to use such an old version? Can you upgrade to Fedora Core?

As I said, for ftp, I don't remember what uses RH9.

All Linux uses the telnet-server-.rpm to enable telnet. Telnet is very insecure and should not be used anymore, use SSH instead. But, if you want to use:

Install the package:

rpm -ivh telnet-server-.rpm

Enable it using:

ntsysv

Or

chkconfig telnet on

to enable telnet do:
chkconfig telnet on
to enable ftp on redhat 9 do:
service vsftpd start

both are unsecured though.

As for Logical Volume Manager - all modern distribution (Fedora Core 4/5, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3/4, CentOS 3/4 - if we speak about "Red Hat Linux successors") have LVM.

Rgds,

Oops! I'm sorry, even RHL9 has LVM - see "Red Hat Linux 9: Red Hat Linux Customization Guide", for example here http://redhat.activeventure.com/9/customizationguide/ch-lvm-intro.html
