Many thanks for your detailed reply. I always use ssh, and have been using it for years. I just wanted to telnet while doing the setup, as I'm not at the stage of using two floppies and ssh lrp packages yet.
The absence of a telnetd, as well as being commendable, would be a good reason why I can't telnet in! thanks Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: "Fabian Linzberger" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Dave Anderson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, April 29, 2002 3:12 PM Subject: Re: [Leaf-user] Telnet to Bering > in my /etc/inetd.conf the last entry for telnet (which is the actual > daemon program, that inetd will start upon a connection to the telnet > port) is /usr/sbin/in.telnetd > the in.telnetd binary however is not included in the bering disk image. > And for a good reason.
