approx via inetd is not open to connection for others machines
- by Cédric Girard
I have an approx server to speed up Debian apt updates, on my Ubuntu 11.04 desktop PC, it had ran fine in the past, but today le 9999 port is open from localhost, but not for others PC. I have not modified inetd configuration at all.
What can I check and try?
inetd.conf
9999 stream tcp nowait approx /usr/sbin/approx /usr/sbin/approx
approx.com
# Here are some examples of remote repository mappings.
# See http://www.debian.org/mirror/list for mirror sites.

security http://security.debian.org/debian-security
volatile http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile
# The following are the default parameter values, so there is
# no need to uncomment them unless you want a different value.
# See approx.conf(5) for details.
$cache /espace/Dossiers/approx
$max_rate unlimited
$max_redirects 5
$user approx
$group approx
$syslog daemon
$pdiffs true
$offline false
$max_wait 10
$verbose false
$debug false
I tried to allow others PC to connect with a "ALL: ALL" in hosts.allow. ufw is disabled, iptables-save is empty.
