Telnet port remapping?

[MrBill]

Hi,

I'm trying to set up a few linux boxes behind a Cable modem router. Since I'd like to be able to get into each box remotely, I was wondering if it was possible to make telnet in linux listen to a different port for connections? If it matters, I'm using Mandrake 8.

Thanks!

You should think about ssh for remote access.

Edit /etc/services to change the port # (default is 23)

Thanks for the tip!

I'll have to look into ssh.
