Setting up telnet server on RH 7.0

[Mazarin]

I'd like to set up telnet services on my RH7.0 computer. Can anyone point me to a doc or howto on the internet, or just tell me how.

thanks

the simplist way is to install telnetd, the deamon for telnet, this can be done with linuxconf. under control, choose service activity, telnet will be one of them.

rpm -qa | grep telnetd, this should tell you if you have it installed on your computer, if not get it from the disk you installed from and rpm -i telnetd<version> to install, then what about xinetd is that installed? you have to have both i believe then restart and u should have it going ps -aux | grep xinetd
I dont know what im talking about

You know what guy, what you need is secure shell (ssh deamon) that is better then telnet. go to this site and download , plus with some telnet you could pick up password files and otehr things.

trust me when i tell you that it is the best telnet software out their.

When Installed RH7.0 it installed telnet and ssh. At the console type 'setup' with out '' and go into services, I think that is what it is called. Then look for telnet and ssh, If it has a * beside it then it is turned on.
