RE: [expert] No telnet into my 7.2 box?

[Bill Shirley]

Make sure you have the telnet-server installed: [root@elmo /root]# rpm -qa | grep telnet telnet-0.16-4mdk telnet-server-0.16-4mdk Make sure the entry for telnet is  not commented out in /etc/inetd.conf: telnet stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  in.telnetd However, you really should install ssh-server and use ssh to remotely login.  It used to be, and probably still is, on the makdrake-crypto site.  I use the free-for-private-use ssh Windows client to get into my LM 7.1 box.   HTH, Bill -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, November 05, 2000 2:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [expert] No telnet into my 7.2 box? 'lo all,   I've recently installed MDK 7.2 on my box (went for the newbie install version, to see what all it does), and tried to telnet into it, no dice, its not listening to the telnet session. I read some FAQs, did what they said (specifically setting up services) and its still not working.   Does anyone have any similar experiences, or know what exactly I can do to fix this?   Thanks very much.
