Ok, when I try to telnet to my computer from another machine, even in
the same domain, I get
Trying x.x.x.x...(my ip address)
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
the telnetd line in my inetd.conf file is
telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.telnetd
you mean when I type telnetd at the command prompt?
I get:
bash: telnetd: command not found
