I have Red Hat Linux 7.0 currently installed on my computer and I use it for everything besides games with which I use windows 98 SE. Now I want to be able to use telnet and Xwin-32 to connect to my machine. I want my friends to be able to do the same. How would I go about setting this up? I tried doing it without changing anything, but was unsuccessful.

To enable telnet access to your machine, add a line for in.telnetd in your /etc/inetd.conf. Something like this:

telnet stream tcp nowait telnetd.telnetd /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.telnetd

Restart inetd and you should be set. (Also make sure you don't have ALL:ALL in /etc/hosts.deny)
