At the moment I'm trying to setup my own ftp server and telnet facility,
so I can send stuff to and fro from work. I've installed anonftp and
wuftp, and have checked that ftp services are provided in /etc/services.
However trying to connect via telnet from the host machine(ie telnetting
into my machine from my machine) to see if things work gives the
following stumper of a message: (BTW the host name is Medusa)

/home/users > telnet Medusa
Trying 0.0.0.0...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: No route to host

And trying localhost

/home/users > telnet localhost
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out

I'm not sure what it is, but I suspect it's my networking interfaces or
my hosts.deny file. Here's what I've got :

:::/etc/networks:::
loopback        127.0.0.0
localnet        0.0.0.0

:::/etc/hosts:::
127.0.0.1       localhost       loopback
0.0.0.0 Medusa.picknowl.com.au  Medusa

:::/etc/hosts.deny:::
ALL: ALL

:::/etc/ftphosts:::
ALL:LOCAL

BTW : this is doing telnet,ftp as user other than root.
ftp gives similar errors. I've set the machine up for ppp access to my
ISP, and my machine is not on a network.
It's a RH 5.1 , Kernel 2.0.34 with a Cyrix 686.
