RE: [newbie] Remote login (telnet and X)
Well, I got telnet working by uncommenting inet.conf and running inetd (where should that be started from if I want it to auto-start?) As a side bonus also got my Intellimouse working while surfing through howto's. I got remote X working by setting XDMCP in my X server. Now who can tell me how to get my Linux PC to stop making noises with its speaker whenever it is sending data to my X server?

Re: [newbie] Remote login (telnet and X)
I am further than I was: inetd was not starting. What script is inetd normally started from? I should add that this system was installed with the "secure" option, so it probably isn't doing lots of things that a default installation would do automatically. For example, I also need to get it to start lpd automatically. I have pretty good reasons for security as you can probably divine from my email address, so I don't want to just start with a default configuration. Nonetheless, I am still stuck. The computer no longer refuses all connections, but closes telnet/ftp after a few seconds without prompting for login.
RE: [newbie] Netscape Update ?!
Thanks, that worked once I found kpackage. How many package managers does this beast have, anyway? -Original Message- From: Harry Flaxman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, August 18, 2000 9:37 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Netscape Update ?! Remove the original RPMs that were installed with the system. Then the new Netscape should run as expected. You may have to reinstall the 128 bit version. Harry root wrote: I have Mandrake 7.0, which came with Netscape 4.7 and 40-bit encryption. I need 128, so I downloaded the current 4.75/128 from Netscape and installed it using ns-install. Mandrake appears to have installed Netscape to /usr/lib/netscape, so I told ns-install to put 4.75 there. When I run Netscape and select Help|About it still says it is 4.7 and Communicator | Tools | Security Info still says only the PKCS #11 module is installed (and I can't connect to my secure site). When I cd to /usr/lib/netscape and run ./netscape then I get the following message: netscape: program is version 4.75, but resources are version 4.7. This means that there is an inappropriate `Netscape' file installed in the app-defaults directory. Check these environment variables and the directories to which they point: $XAPPLRESDIR $XFILESEARCHPATH $XUSERFILESEARCHPATH Also check for this file in your home directory, or in the directory called `app-defaults' somewhere under /usr/lib/. The symbols mentioned are undefined on my system. What did I do wrong? -- ___ Harry Flaxman | Reg Linux User 182484 http://web.meganet.net/hflaxman ICQ # 22086907 | Reg Linux System 80769
[newbie] Remote login (telnet and X)
I would like to be able to telnet to my Linux box and/or use X from a remote system. The remote system has an X server, but how do I set up the daemons on the Linux computer? They don't currently appear to be running (since telnet attempts bounce).
RE: [newbie] Remote login (telnet and X)
ftp and telnet lines are both uncommented but connections are refused even between the Linux computer and itself (including localhost). I would like to be able to telnet to my Linux box and/or use X from a remote system. The remote system has an X server, but how do I set up the daemons on the Linux computer? They don't currently appear to be running (since telnet attempts bounce). In /etc/inetd.conf you have to remove the # marks with the telnetd line to make the telnet daemon active.
RE: [newbie] Remote login (telnet and X)
It's not outside my LAN, though I do look forward to using ssh for other reasons (such as access from home). I'd like to get X and telnet working before I do that, though. If this remote machine is outside your LAN, you mey wish to can telnet, and install ssh or Open SSH. These will provide the same acess and X-11 fowarding, but wih the added security of a 768 bit key.
