You mean remote access? That was the norm in the old days when everybody used a terminal to share a unix server.

Dont use telnet - its very insecure with passwords sent in clear-text. You want 'ssh', which has win-dos clients such as putty. Of course, X-windows has always worked over a network. Or use VNC. > Anyway my question is is there a how-to or a man document that explains how > to enable telnet to my linux box. I know it will be handled on port 23 but I man -k telnet? Just install the telnet daemon, and RTM. But DONT. Install ssh instead. > don't remember how to invoke the telnet software/daemon. I hope this Its normally invoked from the /etc/inetd.conf mechanism. -- "The human race is faced with a cruel choice - work or daytime television" -- Dave Barry -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
