Please post a new topic for new questions; this is not related to the post
you replied to. As for telnet not working, returning "connection fialed
errot" (connection failed error, presumably), it could be
a) telnet is not starting properly (permissions)
b) firewall on 2003 prohibits outgoing telnet (unlikely)
c) firewall on RHEL prohibits incoming telnet (a good idea)
d) xinetd is configured wrong
e) telnet is not actually installed
f) telnet is not running on port 23
.. and I'm sure there could be other reasons.
Try running 'netstat -ta' as root on the RHEL server, and post the results.
Also try telnetting to localhost from within RHEL, and see what happens.
Is there a reason to use telnet specifically? If not, ssh is a far superior
alternative.
