telnet and rlogin problems
Rel: FreeBSD 6.2 Summary: I am unable to get either telnet or rlogin to function Details: To several of my PCs, that had been running 4.11, I have installed release 6.2. To the rc.conf, which was used for 4.11, I added: rcpbind_enable=YES rpc_lockd_enable=YES rpc_statd_enable=YES nfs_server_enable=YES nfs_client_enable=YES mountd_enable=YES ftpd_enable=YES To hosts.allow, I added: rpcbind | ALL | allow To login.access, I added: +:ALL:.ursa.com I have looked in the handbook, Michael Lucas's 2nd Ed Absolute FreeBSD and in both the NOTES files for configuring the kernel, and I still am un- able to either telnet or rlogin to the box. I do not recall that I have made any changes to the kernel config file when going to 6.2 - I believe that I am using the same config file. It is my opinion that I am missing one or two specific incantations. Can anyone out there shed some light on what I am missing to get these to work? Thank you.

To hosts.allow, I added: rpcbind | ALL | allow Again, I don't think this is relevant to your stated problem. try adding: telnetd: whatever : ALLOW Note the use of ':' - I have no idea whether the wrappers will allow you to use '|'. As a general matter, service: ALL : ALLOW is very bad if your machine is connected to the internet. You really do want your allow statements to be in the form: service: exact list of machines or networks that should be allowed :ALLOW Now then ... one last thing: DON'T USE TELENT AND RLOGIN - get out of the habit of using them even on local networks. They are painfully bad security holes. Learn to use ssh instead.
