When you get a message of "connection refused", it typically appears when the desired server is not running on the host machine. In your case, it is possible that telnet server is not running. You need to do three things to make telnet work. 1) Install telnet server. (On a workstation, installation of Linux automatically installs telnet client. But you have to yourself install telnet server). 2) Change the value of parameter disable from yes to no in the file /etc/xinetd/telnet. Note that if you have not installed telnet server, this file may not be present in the /etc/xinetd directory. 3) Either reboot or restart xinetd. Now your telnet should work. Also, as some friends have advised, ssh is more secure than telnet. bye shiraz __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
