Telnet runs under inetd(assuming it is turned on under inetd.conf). Inetd listens to the port that telnet requests come in on. If a request comes in it starts the telnet daemon. This is done to save system resources since inetd also listens for alot of other services. This saves on system resources. Rather than have a lot of services listening, you have one. Unless you have alot of telnet requests, this setup is just fine. --- Brett - CTC <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > *This message was transferred with a trial version > of CommuniGate(tm) Pro* > When I check the services, the Telnet service is set > to "On Demand" .. > > How would I make it "Automatic", so the service is > always running. > > > Thanks > > Brett. > > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
