hi,

Linux Redhat7.0, workstation. Here is what's happening after I tried to install ftp server.

cd /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS
rpm -Uvh xinetd* wu-ftpd* anonftp*
....
....

reboot computer

/etc/hosts files
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.1.1 piii.mydomain piii

I have to be root to do ftp 192.168.1.1 or ftp piii. If I log in as normal user, i get the following error:

ftp: ftp/tcp unknown services

telnet 192.168.1.1
telnet: tcp/telnet unknown services

I have to be a root to telnet other machine when I use dial-up to get connected.
