Dear Support, I cannot telnet to my system. I have a rtl100a Compex card which seems to work fine (because I can telnet to another system on the network). If I try to telnet to this system from anywhere on the lan (including this system itself) I get: Trying 192.168.1.2 Connected to sunil.javasolutions.org Escape character is '^]' Connection closed by foreign host The suggestions received earlier were 1.scrapmetaldevil wrote: > ummm...do you have the telnet daemon enabled? and if it is, are you telnet-ing > to the port that is enable?

(I mention this only because I haven't yet myself) pico /etc/pam.d/login Then find the line that says "securetty.so" (Usually the second line from the top.) Comment out this line from the beginning of: #auth Save and telnet. Please note if this machine is conencted to the 'net via dialup or on a lan without a firewall you are REALLY leaving your butt hanging out the car window, during rush hour in Los Angeles.. :) 3.Sarang Wrote Are you tring to telnet and login as root? Linux dosn't let you do that for security reasons.. login as another user and then su to root. Else, check the file /etc/services It has all the services that your machine has open.. If you have set the security level to highest in mandrake, then it'll disable telnet.. you can only get in by using SSH. Lemme know if you need help in setting up ssh.. its pretty straighforward! Else, if you have telnet uncommented in /etc/services, then do " /etc/rc.d/inid.d/inet status" and see if its running.. inet basically starts services mentioned in /etc/services.. if its not running then simply say "/etc/rc.d/init.d/inet start" and you should be ok ! ------- None of these work. I have hunted the internet, mandrake archives, redhat support and several books. I have not even come across a similar problem listed. Please help. I am finding my development time being wasted.
