It is fairly normal not to allow root to login using telnet. Login using a regular user, then su to root. If rexec doesn't work, check the logs on your target system - perhaps the service isn't enabled ? Perhaps the origin system is not authorised ? Generally, none of this is specific to RH (assuming RH = Redhat) but plain UNIX questions. I would look for some general doc on UNIX/Linux - then you can always battle the specifics of RH later :-) good luck, Per Jessen, Zurich regards, Per Jessen, Zurich http://www.enidan.com - home of the J1 serial console.
