i've noticed that when I do a regular install telnetd doesn't get installed
by default.  Usually if your try telenting to your box you'll get a
connection refused.  I have always attempted the telneting from another box
on so I'm not sure what would happen if you didn't have telentd running and
you typed 'telent localhost' - it might work...dont' know.. haven't tried.

Anway, check your rpm directory on your installation CD you should see the
telentd rpm.  After you install it your telnet should work.  Then anyone
with an account on your machine should be able to remotely login.

Hello everyone! I am new to this stuff...
Could anyone tell me how can I install telnet server and check if it is
working properly?
How can I make remote access? The remote computer does it need to have some
application running or just be in /root ?

Thank you all.
