Probably I'm just plain stupid, but I cannot telnet from a client to our
5.0.4 server unless I have an entry in the server's /etc/hosts file for the
client. Is this normal, or is there some setup I don't know about?

Thanks

You should not need an entry in the hosts file to telnet, sounds like a
route problem,
Be sure you can ping the server from the client.

Ping is the first thing we do when setting up clients and it works fine.
However, ftp won't connect either unless the clients entry is in the
/etc/host tabel. I suspect someone has changed an option somewhere - I just
don't know what!
