Re: Enable telnet access

have a look into /etc/inetd.conf, there should be a line containing ... telnetd ...

If it is not commented it will start if you try to login.

Or what is your problem exactly?

Re: Enable telnet access

Jagadesh,

If you're talking about "root" access via telnet then all you have to do is edit "/etc/securettys" and add the line "ptys" (more info is within the file).

If this is not the case, please provide more information so the problem can be diagnosed.

Cheers

Gary

Re: Enable telnet access

hi all,

have a look also at /etc/allow.hosts if the service isn't denied.

cau jk.
