I have a similar telnet problem to the person who couldn't telnet into their
box. After installing Mandrake, I could telnet in/out with no problems.
However, the other night curiosity got the better of me and I clicked the update
icon to see what would happen. After the download/install finished, and I
rebooted my box, I could no longer telnet _into_ my box. telnetting out works
fine, as does ftp in/out. Does this sound like the telnet server needs to be
installed, or a hosed configuration file somewhere? As information, I ran
tcpdchk? or chktcpd? or something like that thinking that I read somewhere that
that may diagnose problems. It said that popr3d? and in.telnetd could not be
found in /usr/bin (/sbin). Could this be the problem?? Forgive my not
remembering exact details as this happened late last night at home and it is now
early this morning at work. If I am leaving out any helpful information, please
let me know.
Sigh....It's a geek's life:-)
Thanks,
