Telnet issues
« on: March 12, 2006, 06:57:42 AM »
Just installed a new Redhat 9 box and all is well but I cannot telnet to it. I can access it with ssh, but not telnet. I have it setup in the system firewall and also my main firewall to allow telnet but no go. Also I have Angry IP scanner and when I scan my network I get the IPs, Host name, and mac of all computers/network gear on my network but not this box. I can get the IP only, it can access the net and ping any box on the network or intenet. Any ideas out there? :-/

Ok guys found the issue,  In Redhat 9 the "telnet" client is installed by default; the telntd daemon is not. Thats why it will not respond to the telnet request. SSH is a better way to access and admin the box anyway. ;D

Do not under any circumstance run a telnet server.  Never!   ;)
Only able to visit the forums sporadically, sorry.
