I'm not sure about why this is happening; I've installed lots of inetd programs and they all set it up for me quite nicely. Which version of debian are you using? I am loading with only disk1 of 3.

You should be able to install off the first CD; obviously only the packages on the first CD will be available to you, but it should work. Could you post some more details? Which version of debian, where the CDs came from, etc. -rob -- I did not vote for the Australian government. pgp18xezmjtyb.pgp Description: PGP signature

Which version of debian, where the CDs came from, etc. version 2.2r6, generated a matching MD5 sum binary-sparc-1.iso source: mirrors identified at linuxiso.org I learned how to add ftp/http sites to the apt-get/dselect part of the system load.

I was still not able to telnet in. I logged in as root to the new system and did a dselect using file/ftp/http as my source, and looked around for telnetd or some package of remote access tools. I didn't find anything named telnet under the net sections in dselect. I choose wu-ftd because I wanted an ftp server too. During the Install phase of dselect I noticed that telnetd is being pulled in. Tests proved I could telnet in. I did find /mnt/cdrom -iname *telnet* and found telnetd and telnet .deb files on CD1 (binary-sparc-1.iso). So everything turned out fine. But why? 1. Is there a simple method choice that would have installed telnetd? 2. It seems that simply running dselect and not making any modifications to the default selections will bring in telnetd. If that is so, which selection is it? 3. It appears that the most efficient way for me to get the packages I want requires that I install using the simple method and follow up with a manually invoked dselect. Is there a way to run both simple and advanced during the install phase? I'll have to experiment on my next install. Mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I am new to Debian. I am bringing up a sparc box. /etc/inetd.conf was barren. I added telnet. I tried to add the in.identd line but I am missing the indent server it seems.
