allowing telnet access from anywhere

[H. M. Murdock]

Hi,
Its been so long since I've had to know how to do this i forgot. How do you allow access from anywhere in telnet? Right now only the loca;host can do that and I need to get access from the outside.

Thanks,

Murdock

Please consider using ssh instead of telnet for security reasons.

To allow for telnet access from anywhere, add the following line in your /etc/hosts.allow:

in.telnetd:ALL

I know you remember this but just in case, uncomment ftp in your inetd.conf...
