I got an interesting problem on a sun Sparcstation IPC (call it A) running 4.1.1. I'm on a big ethernet (actually multiple ethernets connected by Cisco boxes). Machine A has no problem running ftp to PCs and MACs running NCSA Telnet. Other suns have no problem connecting to Machine A via ftp and telnet (I'm only using IP numbers on Machine A so I can't run the Berkeley r-tools and other stuff). Machine A can ping the other sun's, but ftp and telnet just hangs up (it starts but doesn't ask for an account). The machine comes from a 3rd party with special software, and a lot of configuration files in /etc were changed (not sure why). Anyone know what to look at and why this happens (I'm going to look into the problem -- never saw this before). Strange... marty (Knowledge is useful in the Information Age) (Software is mindstuff.
