Guys...the problem is simple. and very common on Mandrake 7.2 installs...even
the expert/developer installes. The "telnet-server" package isn't installed
and untill it is you won't be able to telnet into the box that you're
attempting to gain access to. You can certainly telnet out, but you can't
telnet in. I discovered this two weeks ago when I installed Mdk 7.2 on my
home machine and workstation at work. As soon as I added the telnet-server
package all was well again.
