You may not have the telnet program installed on your machine. At the command line, type "rpm -qa | grep telnet" (search for the string "telnet" in the list of all rpm packages). If nothing is returned, you don't have the telnet program installed.
I have the "download version" of 8.2. The telnet program is on the first CD in the package "telnet-client-krb5-1.2.2-17mdk.i586.rpm." Install that. Granted, using ssh is preferred because it is more secure than telnet. If the server you are connecting to supports it, it's better to log in with ssh (the openssh-clients package is also on the first CD). But if you really want to use telnet, that's how to do it. - Kathy On Sat, 2002-05-18 at 17:26, Joe Davidson wrote: > I have an "out-of-the-box" 8.2 installation on Intel. > > When I boot up, the only failure I get is proftp. > > I have connectivity, I can browse with Mozilla. > > When I open a shell window and say "telnet xxxx", I get a no such command > message. > > When I open ktelnet and try to connect to anything, even localhost, a > window opens and then immediately closes. > > What should I do next? > > Thanks. > > Joe Davidson > Silver Spring MD > 301 593 4152 > www.interguru.com
