remote control & ftp problems
 

Hello, I'm new here ...

I need help : I installed some packages ( including SECclean, PARCdaily, ...) and when I've reboot the sun, I couldn't work in ftp or graphical remote control. I guess it's a file configuration problem or a process which is not launch at startup, but I tried many thing, and I don't no what to do now ...

I use Cygwin, when I run the command : xwin -query <IP> , a windows opens I see a back ground, 2 sec after that the background becomes black (as it used to do before seeing the login window) but nothing happens after that, no error message, ... but the xwindow doesn't respond anymore and I have to kill it.


thanks for helping me

Not being able to access the system remotely doesn't looks for me a configuration problem, but the goal of one or more of the package you have installed.
Have a look at their documentation and see what they have changed in your system.
If they are correctly written, uninstalling these packages should restore the disabled features too.

Should you want to keep these packages, you can truss the services involved and try to find out why they refuse access.

thanks, but I have to keep those packages installed, the goal is to have a backup server in the same state as the st one, but many config files must have beeing rewritten, I think the problem comes from one of these config files, but I don't know which ones have to be verified

You have it now. If you change settings, they won't be in the same state.

yes, and that's the problem, during the install of packages (present and configured on the 1 srv) on the backup srv, many files have been overwritten, I compared and modified those I found in order to have the 2 server in the same state. But it still doesn't work.
SECclean is a security package, and some Solaris files have been overitten. Do you know where I can find any file that disables ftp, telnet or remote control access ?

This command will show you what files differs on your host compared to the stock installation.
As a good start, you can check those related to ftp and inetd.
