I wonder if anyone can straighten me out here on telnet ports.
What I have done is to amend /etc/services file to show that my telnet port is 24. And I changed port 23 for use by another service. Of course I amended the approriate files in /etc/xinetd.d as well. Now, when I telnet out to other services - around the world I am getting 'connection refused'. It appears that I am asking to telnet into port 24 of these other services around the world?? Does this make any sense? To try and prove this, I tried telnetting to these very stations that gave me the 'connection refused - port 24', but using 'port 23' added to the end of my request, and things worked. But without attaching port '23', my request was refused.. I thought that by changing my /etc/services file and related ones in /etc/xinetd.d that all I was effecting was incoming telnet requests? It appears that this is not the case? Is this correct? Does this in fact effect your outgoing requests?? -- Ted Gervais Coldbrook, Nova Scotia Canada. 1-902-679-2253 _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
