Make sure you have openssh-server RPM installed, if not install it first from
the Redhat CD, or if you already have / want to setup up2date account, then
you can do:
$> up2date openssh-server
Then run the sshd service
$> service sshd start
make sure it runs the next time your machine reboot:
$> chkconfig sshd on
Do all that as root, of course.
If you have IPTables running, disable all that first to make testing easier.
Now try ssh-ing from another machine. If that works, you can re-enable your
iptable but just make sure you allow Port 22 to get in.
Ditch telnet. You don't need it, it's insecure and it's old. SSH can do
everything telnet can, and more.
For Window SSH client, try PuTTY.
Hope that helps.
