Okay, I'm really not familiar with this from
the admin side. I'm running a Slackware
distribution upgraded to kernel 2.0.36.
When I type "telnet localhost" I get
a login screen and can log back into
my computer.
I can't find telnetd running anywhere
though. What's allowing me to do this?
If I understand this correctly, inetd gets
calls and forwards them to tcpd which
is supposed to send them to the right
port, correct? (sorry about the low-tech
description).
I ran into this while trying to telnet
in from another box on a local (3 computer)
ethernet network. I can ping. I've got samba
shares running so I can attach. I can FTP.
However, when I telnet to the Linux box from my Win9x box
a connection appears to be opened, then it closes before
I get a prompt ("connection to host lost").
I guess I have two questions:
1) what's running to allow a telnet in on my "localhost"
2) what can I modify to allow other boxen on my local net
to log in?
Thanks,
mas
