Well, if you're getting connection refused when you telnet localhost on the server, and the telnet line is uncommented then it's one of two things: Either telnetd isn't installed, or inetd isn't running. At least that's the only possible things I can see that can go wrong. regards Anders

in.telnetd isn't designed to be started manually. When it starts, it expects to be called by inetd, and expects there to be a socket waiting with a telnet client on the other end.

Well, there's your problem. try rcinetd start If that says 'done' and not 'failed', try ps aux|grep inetd again. If it's running now, try telnetting. It should work (fingers crossed :), and you can edit /etc/rc.config changing the line START_INETD= to "yes". That will make inetd start automatically on bootup. And I agree with Ben. If you have to use telnet from a machine on the net, make sure you never use an important password, like roots, not even with 'su'. Remember that everything you do is transmitted in cleartext.

At the extreme right is the command. I'm not running inetd on the machine I'm on at the moment, and here's what I got

andjoh 31120 0.0 0.2 1544 580 pts/4 S 22:48 0:00 grep inetd

Note that this is not inetd, but "grep inetd" It doesn't happen every time. It's a "race condition". Sometimes, grep reads the 'ps' information before the kernel has time to put the 'grep' process in there, sometimes it doesn't.

So which command did you get? "/usr/sbin/inetd" or "grep inetd"?

I ran:

aux|grep inetd

and it gives me a line with info of the user, ps, and else.....

Well, there's your problem. try

rcinetd start

If that says 'done' and not 'failed', try ps aux|grep inetd again. If it's running now, try telnetting. It should work

crossed :), and you can edit /etc/rc.config changing the line START_INETD= to "yes". That will make inetd start automatically on bootup.

And I agree with Ben. If you have to use telnet

OT tip on removing grep from grepp'ed ps listings..

ps -ef | grep inetd | grep -v grep

Or use: ps -ef | grep i[n]etd on grep -v needed :) -- Richard Bos For those who have no home the journey is endless

Thanks for your comments, Ive been told about that before. Problem is I spend a lot of time getting connected not only from my internal network, but also from school labs (running MS) where I can't just installed any software to run ssh from that environment so somehow I need to get my telnet server to listen to any other machine locally and from outside. I appreciate your advise. --- Ben Rosenberg wrote:

I just want to add an opinion..how about not using telnet .. go for ssh. You can have sshd up in just as much time as this is taking and it will get you out of the habit of using telnet which is just completely unsecure. Just a thought.

I would definitely have to agree with Ben. Downloading PuTTY would definitely be a good idea. It's an awesome client that supports both Telnet, and SSH for free. No need to install, just drop and run! Tt's extremely light-weight compared to other TELNET clients.

Another bit of advice..download Putty. It's a Windows ssh client that doesn't need installation. It's just an .exe file that can fit on a floppy. You can stick the floppy in the drive ..execute it and never have to install anything.

I havent modify any of those files, what should I put on them? those files are empty............ I thougth I was supposed to put a user name or something, is it an ip address?, which one? the one from the computer I want to connect from? the router? the gateway? --- Robert Barish wrote:

Have you modified the host.alllow file allow access. Maybe an entry like: ALL:192.168.1. to allow access to the machine.
