I noticed that RH7.0 has telnet and ftp in the system runlevels. I can get into linuxconf but cannot set them to automatic. It seems that they are initialized but are very slow internally. Is there a way to fix this?

As root do chkconfig --list.
This will show the services that are started, and in which run level.

If you really need a telnet & ftp server you can add them with chkconfig.

Look at the man page for chkconfig for the exact syntax.

I've found that slow FTP & Telnet initialisations are caused by DNS lookups.

If you check you DNS settings you should find that the machine is trying to use another machine to resolve DNS addresses and is timing out for some reason.

Change your network settings to only query your Redhat machine.

Hope this helps.

Rich.
