Howdy Barry, You seem to be using "telnet" and "ssh" interchangabley when they're not. SSH is secure, while telnet is not, and SSH uses port 22, while telnet uses port 23. I recommend using SSH.
Now, the box that you're ssh'ing to must specifically allow ssh connections, which is configured independently of the ssh daemon. Instead, you must add the following lines to /etc/hosts.allow: sshd sshd1 sshd2 : ALL : ALLOW Give that a shot and let us know if that does the trick. Miark "Barry Michels" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> spoke thusly: > But, I'd like to telnet into it > remotely as VNC doesn't work well with screen updates of virtual machines. > Using telnet on my XP machine to access port 22 results in a blank screen > and a disconnect in a few seconds.
