congratulations . check out <menu-bar> -> System Settings -> Services ( Service Management ) , and see if the telnet service is running; !! don't use telnet, though; use ssh !! ( check out 'sshd' service is running; it should ) telnet sends unencrypted user credentials over the network, opposite ssh which does encrypt the data. regards, -ionut- valeed@ahmedzayan i.com To: shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx Sent by: cc: shrike-list-admin Subject: what settings to do on linux box to enable login from any network node using telnet @redhat.com 09/30/2003 01:53 PM Please respond to shrike-list hi all , I am new to linux , I have installed redhat 9 on a p4 2.4 ghz , would like to know how do i login to my linux box from any network pc using telnet, also is there any emulation software that works from windows & gives me the gui of linux the 'X' screen regards valeed This communication is for informational purposes only.
