The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Login problems

Asked by wormzer in Linux, Linux Distributions

Tags: , ,

I'm looking for some suggestions regarding a problem that just cropped up on my linux server.

What's happening is:  Attempts to login to the machine (telnet, rlogin, console, IMAP) fails.  Telnet doesn't even show the "username" prompt, console and rlogin attempts freeze up after the password: prompt.

sendmail is receiving mail, and I can retrieve it with POP, but not IMAP.  I can connect with FTP just fine.

I figure I should see a pattern here, but don't and would love it if someone could point it out to me.

All the files are local (no NFS)...

summary:

not working:
rlogin (stops after password entered)
console (stops after password entered)
telnet (not even a username: prompt)
IMAP fails to connect

working:
sendmail receive
POP3 fetch
FTP
WWW
ipfwd
samba

Anyone?
