hi with RH 8.0 i suggest: 1. verify telnetd is installed (rpm -q -a | grep -i telnet If its not installed, install it (yes sometimes 8.0 does not install it anymore, depends on which kind of install you follow). i.e, on my box which is rh 7.2: [root@hagibis root]# rpm -q -a | grep -i telnet telnet-server-0.17-20 2. if its installed, its probably not listneing by default, edit /etc/xinetd.d/telnet. You will see a line "disable = yes" change that to "disable = no". 3. You may want to limit telnet logins to specific hosts, you can do that by putting a line such as: "only_from = 192.168.1.0 127.0.0.1" (my actual working config). 4. restart xinetd. regards epike / jondz > > I have a machine running Red Hat 8.0.
