Touche, Mark! But if you had seen me cursing the HMC console using 'echo' to change parm files, you'd surely understand why I'm looking for a 'temporay' way to enable an X screen to finish up everything else! >Use OpenSSH instead, and use either TeratermPro with the ttssh SSH add-on, >or PuTTY to access your system. Life should be so easy that I had these choices to chose from. I have Reflections, and none of the connection methods you listed are available (nor could I install add-ons if I could get them). >Others can tell you how to allow root to >telnet in, but I won't, cause I like you. :) I hold you in high esteem, also, but if I were to do something to cause you NOT to like me ... THEN would you tell me :) ? (Remember ... this is only a 'temporary' thing, right?). BTW, ARE you saying I could create user accounts that could telnet in? Best regards, Paul
