Hi, I want users to be able to telnet into my linux box. So I did #>chkconfig telnet on and added in /etc/hosts.allow in.telnetd: ALL: ALLOW then #>/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart I was unable to telnet into the box: It says connection refused, it does't even come until login prompt. So I think telnetd is not configured properly. So what is wrong in above process??? Regards Venkat. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
