To check and see if it is running nonw. Type netstat -l or ps -A | grep sshd that is a pipe "|" in between ps -A and grep and not the letter "L" or "I" (eye) Are you trying to telnet to your computer or from your computer? If it is "to your computer", you need to install and have running Wu-FTP as that is a FTP server. If your problem is you are trying to telnet "from your computer", then you need to hit up http://www.rpmfind.net and type in "telnet" in the search path and download the telnet package. Back to the VNC and SSH problem, if you meet all the criteria I had listed at the beginning of my message, then I need to know how you are trying to establish a SSH and VNC connection. For instance, are you trying to start a secure session from another linux/unix-flavor machine or a windoze-flavor environment? If winoze, what program? I recommend telneat. Now as for VNC... to start your server in linux/unix-flavor type vncserver :1 to test it in linux locally type vncviewer localhost:1 now to kill the server (stop it that is) type vncserver -kill :1 That is all I can tell you for now. I hope that was enough to make you groovy <smirk> Cheers -- Al __________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape Webmail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com/
