Yeah, don't use telnet. :) You should be using SSH instead, to avoid sensitive info (like your root password when you run su) being transmitted over the network in plaintext. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/openssh.html Basically you put sshd_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf, then configure it through /etc/ssh/sshd_config if necessary. PuTTY supports SSH fine, just check the right radio button in the config. Cheers, Evan
