Second the motion. If you can't get access to the system at all you are
worse off then when you have a less secure access. telnet is easy to turn
in RH8 and in RH7.X. You could :
1. email them a script to run to turn telnet on.
2. email files to install to turn it on
3. some combo of the above.
4. "teletype" them thru it - eg. -
"Now press the enter key, OK what do you see now?"
You'll have to test whatever method you want to use before you do it live,
Even the "teletyping" will go better if you dry run it yourself before
trying it with them. At least then you can have a plan and a checklist.
What Linux do you have installed?
