could very well be. For starters (now that we've gone through all this :) it's in your best interest not to use telnet. Use ssh instead (which can also be enabled doing chkconfig sshd on) it's secure amongst other cool features you'll use later) telnet is OK if it's just you on a local network and you're not using it to go to or from the outside world (in general, don't use it, it sends your username and pasword in clear text, too easy to sniff, thanks for the login) are you trying to telnet (err, connect, see above :-) to a local machine from a local machine or are you trying to come from the outside world back into your home network? --Dave -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
