Is the telnet-server package installed on the server machine? It's not normally installed by default. If installed, is it enabled? Try: '/sbin/chkconfig --list telnet' If it is off, you can enable it with: '/sbin/chkconfig telnet on' On the server, can you 'telnet localhost'? If that fails, it either isn't installed or isn't enabled. All that said, unless you have good reason to use telnet, I'd suggest ssh. - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.{2,3}|8.0 in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+C/KYn/07WoAb/SsRAhgXAJ0YYhQsELJB/1wLCNgldHS31/ponwCfYK66 t97W5sPkex9FQ4Zt1MzN7jU= =HZn5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
