  • Cannot turn off services via scfg

    From Charles Blackburn@VERT/THEFBO to All on Tue Sep 26 14:13:25 2023
    Hey all

    got the latest version installed, and im trying to turn off the web server, ftp server leaving just the telnet port active (at least for now).

    the issue is when i go into scfg and disable them, under "servers", the "enabled" line stays as yes and i can't change it.
    when i select it i see "enabled: no" (and unable to change that either), but when i hit enter, it never changes it to no.

    am i doing something wrong?

    Charlie

    you press enter to disable the service it says "Enabled No" and all the options disappear. Press escape and then save.

    Your server configuration window will then show <disabled> next to that service.

    I guess it just hides all the options. I was confused for a minute until I realized what was happening. It's not giving you a selection, it's just removing all the options from view.

    Hope that helps.
