Use ssh Whenever somebody raises a telnet issue, there seems to be a group of people trying to convince the user to switch to ssh instead. Let's look at the entire network here - 2 systems connected via a crossover cable. There's not much insecure about using telnet in this case - where are the packets going to be sniffed? In order to capture the packets, you have to be root on one of the systems. Yes, the root user on one of the systems can probably get access to root on the other system, but for all we know, both systems are in his basement. To answer the original poster's question: # chkconfig telnet on chkconfig edits /etc/xinet.d/telnet to enable the service and then reloads xinet to load the changes. -- Ed Wilts, RHCE Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
