Telnet services...

[Evil Jeff]

I'm trying to open up my mandrake 7.2 system to accept telnet connections. Can't figure it out, or find an nhf or anything like that for it. Can anyone help me?

What have you done so far? What errors/problems are you encountering?

All that should be required is just enabled telnetd in /etc/inetd.conf (and possibly installing telnetd, if it's not installed already).

Duh! Man, didn't even check to see if it was installed. Thanks for the kick in the butt man!

well you need telnetd and inetd installed
make sure its uncommented in inetd.conf run inetd and your off! cleartext passwords shooting over the network and everything!

you might wanna look into ssh cause telnet is considered'unsafe'

It's only for computers behind a $500,000 firewall. I doubt that anyone who has the ability to hack a half a million dollar firewall is interested in my machine.
