rcp and ftp hang

[nancy rippey]

I have just upgraded from 10.20 to 11.0 using an ignate tape from an 11.0 server (same class). Today I am unable to rcp or ftp from other servers to the upgraded servers. Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi,

Check your .rhosts, /etc/hosts, /etc/hosts.equiv files and if you have chnaged the ip and name, check for the name resolution using "nslookup".

hope this helps.

thanks

Hi Nance,

Did you do an interactive install and change the IP address of this server during install?

Check the /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf on the server you just upgraded.

Is telnet working though?

Is the name/ip resolution working ok?

Already checked all those things. Everythings looks good.
I am really confused on this one.

Hi Nancy,

what is the error message you are getting. was this working earlier and have stopped working immediately after the upgrade or it was working after the upgrade too and have stopped working now.

Thanks

Sanjay,
I am not seeing any messages, just timing out.
I have checked dmesg, syslog and mail and and not receiving any errors at all.
This was working last week after the upgrade but not this week.

Hi Nancy,


Did you install any new patches/GR bundles?

Is telnet working?

One more thing, do check if ftp and shell are uncommented in /etc/inetd.conf, if they are , uncomment them and run inetd -c (to reread the file)

Did you try enabling the logging(-l and -L) for ftp in /etc/inetd.conf (man ftpd) Just to check what's going wrong.

Ramesh,
The following General Release patches along with numerous other patches are installed.
XSWGR1100 B.11.00.47.05 General Release Patches, November
1999 (ACE)
Telnet is working, logging is enabled but I am not seeing anything in the logs other than there is an FTP login from my id., and ftp and shell are uncommented.

Is the system on the other side of a router? If so, then maybe you need a "route add ..." on the new system.

I was able to successfully ftp from a different
server. My plan is to have a sniffer put between the servers that I am having the trouble with. I will update with the results.

Thank you all for your input.
