Oh if you used a default install of psyche the firewall will most likely closed the telnet port. You can check this by examining the logs tail -f /var/log/messages on one machine and try telneting from the other. If the firewall does not like you you should get an access denied on the telnet port. -----Original Message----- From: Paul Hamm [mailto:paulhamm@OpenRatings.com] Sent: Thu, December 12, 2002 5:12 PM To: 'psyche-list@redhat.com' Subject: RE: Telnet with RH8.0 By default telnet is disabled. Getting telnet to respond should not be to difficult the real question is why don't you use ssh instead as it is secure. I understand you are in a protected environment but I have found that safe computing starts at home. All I use now is ssh. To start telnet all you need to do is run the command [root@hephaistos home]# chkconfig --list |grep telnet telnet: off [root@hephaistos home]# chkconfig telnet on [root@hephaistos home]# chkconfig --list |grep telnet telnet: on I recommend you use this instead [root@hephaistos home]# chkconfig --list |grep sshd sshd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off [root@hephaistos home]# chkconfig --level 2345 sshd on [root@hephaistos home]# service sshd start Starting sshd: [ OK ] [root@hephaistos home]# chkconfig --list |grep sshd sshd 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off You can do anything you used to do in telnet with ssh ]# ssh <server_name> Take a look at this command and learn to love authorized_keys2 ]# ssh-keygen -t dsa -----Original Message----- From: John Nall [mailto:nally@talstar.com] Sent: Thu, December 12, 2002 4:53 PM To: psyche-list@redhat.com Subject: Telnet with RH8.0 I am not actually sure where to begin this question: I hate to say "How do I get telnet working with RH8.0" but I guess when push comes to shove, that is the question. Right now, I have telnet installed. I can start the daemons. I have two machines on an LAN, both running 8.0, and I can ping from one to the other and from the other to the one. I have my firewall set properly to allow them to talk to each other (or at least I think I do). But when I do a "telnet main" it says connection refused. I can "ping main" and all is fine, so I know the Ethernet connection is working. What am I doing wrong? (He asked, in a whining tone.) Gosh, it is sure nice to be working with Unix again after all these years of Windows! Or at least I think it is. I feel like Alice, in "Alice in Wonderland," who had to keep running just to stay in place! :-) And I remember when Linus first posted the message regarding Linux and was chewed out by Andy Tannenbaum! My, how time do fly, and how things do change.
