Hi all !
Thanks to all the people who have replied to my question.
Let me clarify something here !
What i wanted was to try to telnet to a linux server from any other server
and get the services availble.
SO... I dont have an access into that server, so i cannot check the
/etc/services and what is available.
Sp to get the servies available on server i try to telnet to specific
ports to seee if that service is availble or not.
eg: NNTP server for newsgroups run on port 119.
The server where we have our nntp server(or supposed to have) is not
listening to nntp requests. SO i was trying to find if it is available on
any other port.
I hope i made myself very much clear here.
sorry for all the confusion that was here earlier.
Please reply with this perspective.
TIA,
Nayan !
