RE: [SLUG] help : telnet RedHat7.1

[Chris Barnes]

just as a test, try removing /etc/securetty by doing cp /etc/securetty /etc/securetty.orig   now try to telnet in as root from the outside and see if that works. I had the same problem and found that removing the file fixed the problem ( i dont know if its the right way to fix it tho ) -----Original Message----- From: henry [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, 29 January 2002 5:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SLUG] help : telnet RedHat7.1 Dears:     I installed RedHat & choosed No_Firewall, then modify /etc/securetty by adding 0 1 2 3 (0 1 2 3 means that 4 tty(s) can telnet this host as root)      I just cant telnet  from outside as root though I can ping from outside Could someone help me ?   TIA Henry Searching for "A Better Way" to a home loan ?.
