We get round this by using a SSH terminal client for admin tasks (from my Windows box, I use PuTTY (courtesy of Simon Tatham)) or by using VNC from any box. Not, I hasten to add, a perfect solution, but PuTTY is extremely configurable and flexible. If anyone wants the Win9x version, I would be happy to e-mail (offlist) the binary (220k) as Simon has made this available as freeware. Regards, Paul <SysAdm@edgecoll.clara.net> ----------

Another easy to answer question - I hope.
My annual fiddle with the server - sort out user accounts etc. I upgraded to SuSE 7.2 (new installation) but was suprised to find that I couldn't telnet or ftp into the newly setup box. I then found that inetd was not on be default. Changed that in yast and I can now telnet. I still can't ftp into the box. I've looked through the documentation without any success.
Any ideas.
Dave
