Should be: telnet stream tcp nowait telnetd.telnetd /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
(all one line). There/s no /usr/sbin/telnet, or in.telnet. There's /usr/bin/telnet (the outgoing client), irrelevant here, and /usr/sbin/in.telnetd, the right choice. tcpd is an absolute must if you're using telnet -- make sure you deny access to all but the most trusted hosts. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew J Perrin - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.unc.edu/~aperrin Assistant Professor of Sociology, U of North Carolina, Chapel Hill 269 Hamilton Hall, CB#3210, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3210 USA On Fri, 19 Oct 2001, seg wrote: > Hi, > > I am trying to tell net into my Linux gateway/firewall from a winXP box.
