Do SSH clients come part of Win95, etc to act as clients? And is it available for Acorn clients? On Wed 12 Feb, Steve Palmer wrote:

run on suse8.0 (I think possibly one of the updates did this - although I didn't notice at the time)

However, as soon as I have entered the username and password it simply closes the connection (to a remote client).

Is there an allow/disallow file somewhere I should be looking for.__________________ Do You Yahoo!? Everything you'll ever need on one web page from News and Sport to Email and Music Charts http://uk.my.yahoo.com

No, but do a Google for Putty. It's a free SSH client for Windows platforms. I doubt very much that it's support Acorns but you never know. As for your telnet server. Does it put anything in the syslog? I don't know Suse so I can't help much, but basically you need to check 1) iptables/ipchains rules 2) tcpwrappers 3) runlevels and whether or not the daemon's running, although I seem to remember that telnet's done bu inetd/xinetd so you may want to check the appropriate config file Gary

And is it available for Acorn clients?

I don't know Suse so I can't help much, but basically you need to check

snip ...

It sounds as if inetd is set to manage the telnet port but telnet itself is not installed.

There are two ways forward

1. (Not recommended) If you really really want to use telnet instead of ssh then check that I am right

grep telnet /etc/inetd.conf

Assuming you're using the traditional inetd and not the newer xinetd. If so then check /etc/xinetd.conf or any of it's includes.

(if it is mentioned without a # at the start then inetd is in charge)

and

whereis telnet

This will only tell you if the telnet CLIENT is installed. On RH boxes the client and server are installed seperately. Possibly Suse is the same.

(if whereis can't find it, it isn't installed)

then start yast and install telnet.

2. (Much better idea) edit /etc/inetd.conf and comment out all services you are not using with a #, then restart intetd (rcinetd restart) then check ssh is installed and download putty for any windows clients which need it.
