Hello! I have been using Debian for a while now (before that I used RH5.1). I really prefer Debian, its packaging system, and the fact that it works so nicely from a shell. (You don't need to load X before configuring stuff.) IPMasquerading and the like was a lot easier to set up.
I have, however, recently run into a problem. Since I upgraded, I can no longer ftp or telnet to my machine. ("421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection", and "Connection closed by foreign host"). I'm not sure if this started happening when I installed potato, or when I installed kernel 2.2.7. I think it was the latter though. My hosts.allow and .deny files stayed the same, and I can still telnet from this machine to others. (Not to itself.) Any ideas? TIA, Hugo van der Merwe
