I'm wanting to set up to allow port 23 to be accepted via the internet in my Linux box running RedHat Linux Enterprise Workstation. I did some research and have an output pasted below; am I truly allowing input/output from the internet?
What I truly am attempting to do is telnet to port 5201 in order to allow for VNC, but it appears I can not telnet on port 23 either (telnetting to the machine on port 5201 should bring back an rfb: prompt, but connection is refused on both 5201 and 23); so, my first guess is that I need to allow port 23. Can someone assist me in cleaning up?
