Yesterday, I and all my users couldn't connect to my server using ssh, telnet or ftp even though they were running (keep getting "connection timed out" error message).
This morning, my partner logon from the main console, restarted sshd and xinetd (I belive he didnt restarted the server), now I can ssh to my server, but telnet and ftp is still not accepting any connection from outside (I can telnet and ssh within the box). I believe this is because somehow my server doesn't accept any connection to port 21 & 23 even though they are open
Quote:
PORT STATE SERVICE
21/tcp open ftp
22/tcp open ssh
23/tcp open telnet
25/tcp open smtp
80/tcp open http
111/tcp open rpcbind
143/tcp open imap
443/tcp open https
587/tcp open submission
993/tcp open imaps
10000/tcp open snet-sensor-mgmt
Is there anyway I can fix it and what caused it?
Ps: My server is recently installed java 1.5 which have few issues with gentoo (the OS it's running). However, I only left it as user VM, and set 1.4.0.5 as server VM. But somehow, serverVM was changed to 1.5. So maybe this is the reason for the problem above?? But it doesn't make any sense to me
