To get native telnet working on your gateway box, Besides un-commenting the telnet tcp6 statement in /etc/inetd.conf, you also have to enable inetd in /etc/rc.conf, by adding this statement inetd_enable="YES" # Run super server network daemon dispatcher. Reboot to activate or issue kill -HUP command on task number
SSH has it's own version of telnet, to enable that you have to add this statement to rc.conf sshd_enable="YES" If you are only accessing your gateway using the above functions from your private Lan and your firewall only has rules on the interface facing the public internet, then the above should enable things to work. >From a FBSD box on the Lan use this command telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where the xxx = the private ip address of the gateway machine. Issue ps ax command to show running tasks and look for inetd task, it has to be running for native telnet to work. If you have the above rc.conf statements all ready then post your firewall and Nat rules for people to review. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Darryl Hoar Sent: Friday, February 06, 2004 11:11 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: 5.1 & telnet Greetings, I have tried to get putty configured to access my 5.1 release box using SSH. No joy, and I'm quite tired of trying. I tried to enable telnet on my 5.1 box. Uncommented inetd.conf line, and verified that the services line was in place. I tried to connect to the box with telnet and got a connection refused. Even rebooted the box with the same result. I am accessing this box on my internal network, and my firewall blocks the telnet port, so I'm not worried about outside access. So, telnet will get me by for now. Any ideas what's wrong ? BTW, searched the mailing list archives on freebsd.org , but didn't find info about this. thanks, Darryl _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
