[Apt-proxy-users] Unable to connect

[Matthew G. <mgi...@mi...>]

  Hi,
  I like the idea of apt-proxy. However, I'm having some trouble getting it to 
 work...:(
  When I connect from the client machine I get 111 Connection refused. 
  I've got ftp enabled on the host and also have apache up and running. 
  I also have an aptuser defined in passwd with a null passwd and ownership of 
  the directories on the host.
  What could I possibly be missing?

 I'm not advocating that anyone take up emacs. Not even me: at my age, I'd be more likely to try bungee-jumping. It's easier, and has less risk of causing permanent brain damage.

ROOT@jimblewix:/var/log# grep apt /etc/inetd.conf
apt-proxy stream tcp nowait.400 apt-user        /usr/sbin/tcpd  /usr/local/sbin/apt-proxy /var/log/apt-proxy.log


i.e. you run apt-proxy as a seperate service out of inetd.

HTH,
