how to connect reomte users?

[Clarence J]

I'm trying to access my hpd370 server from a Linux RedHat 7.0 PC. They are on the same network.

I'm not able to telnet into the HP server. What files are needed to be changed in order to enable this to happen?

Thks in advance!

Hi,
can both servers ping each other ?

Hi,

1 see that you are able to ping it

2. in hpd370 server check the file /etc/inetd.conf and see that line pertaining to telnet service is enabled by uncommenting it (the hash(#) sybol to be removed).

3.check the file /var/adm/inetd.sec file and see that telnet service is allowed to your system.

4. Hope you are trying to telnet it using it's IP address if not so then you need to include the IP addresses in /etc/hosts file.

Hope this gives solution.

regards

Vijay

Thks for all the replies!

The problem was that I was trying to telnet to the wrong IP-Addr.

I shall bend down now and you can all line up to GIVE ME A HARD KICK!!

Also keep in mind that -- when using telnet, ftp, rsh, remsh etc. ALL DATA AND PASSORDS travel unencrypted.

Use ssh instead!
