Why is there not a login prompt ?

Did you start the telnet-server on the machine you're telnetting to? U can figure that out eg. with nmap or any other portscanner (in case that the remote machine is really remote).

Regard port 23. CU Guido

Ideas: 1) try as normal user, not root. 2) Try to use ssh instead. 3) Try another host.

Presumably you have inetd installed and running on the server, the telnet service enabled in inetd.conf, and a telnet server daemon installed that matches the one enabled in inetd.conf? This stuff sure wasn't set up for me when I installed 8.1. After I did all that it worked. But maybe you also have to check hosts.allow and hosts.deny. Good luck. -- _____________________ Christopher R. Carlen crobc@earthlink.net Suse 8.1 Linux 2.4.19
