RE: [cobalt-users] Everything EXCEPT SSH is Dead - RaQ 4

>When you "connect" from a remote machine does SMTP / FTP send the
sign-on msg

Nothing at all.  The machine accepts the connection, but goes nowhere
from there.  No message, just a minute or so of nothing and then
disconnect.

>What happens if you restart the services? /etc/rc.d/init.d/initd
restart 
>/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart /etc/rc.d/init.d/admserv restart 
>/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail restart

Nothing.  The services take a LONG time to restart, but don't send any
errors back.

Here's a copy of what I get:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/initd restart - this doesn't work.  I checked on my
other RaQ which is working, and this doesn't work there either.  I did a
whereis initd, but couldn't find it anywhere.

>What kind of errors do you get when you restart the services? What do
the log files say?

Here's what I see in the logs:
