Hello! Newbie again... I have problems installing a cvs server on a Linux Mandrake platform. On one cvs troubleshooting page, it was said that I should try first to telnet to myID@hostname 2401. It does not work. Then, I simply tried to telnet to that machine, and it does not work either. Then, on that machine, telnet localhost does not work... (connection refused in all cases).
I opened the setup tool (Mandrake control center), and tried to figure out what's wrong. As there is a telnet item, I wanted to start it. I got a "telnet : unrecognized service" error message. As there is also a CVS button (which is the purpose of my efforts, I pushed that button as well, and got the same message. I opened the installer and searched for telnet in the "installable" area. There is nothing anymore, since I have installed already. Same for CVS, everything is installed. Beside that, this machine works fine as an IP router. As I have 1 IP address for a few machines, I use this box to do the job. I would greatly appreciate some hints to help me to solve these problems. Thanks, Pascal
