I guess I'm not running telnet. The output from the above command: root 9 0 0 12:39 ? 00:00:00 [kupdated] root 126 121 0 12:39 tty11 00:00:01 /sbin/Monitor-NewStyle-Categoriz root 1447 1 0 12:39 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/postfix/master todd 2345 1 0 12:43 ? 00:00:00 kdeinit: kwrited todd 12410 11885 0 14:36 pts/3 00:00:00 grep tel* I have openssh installed, but I can't figure out how to start it. I typed sshd and I get errors: Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key Disabling protocol version 1.

Will do. Thanks, Todd -- Todd Slater The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately... education produces no effect whatsoever.
