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.

ftp and telnet lines are both uncommented but connections are refused even between the Linux computer and itself (including localhost).

Re: [newbie] Remote login (telnet and X)
Are you attempting to telnet in from a machine where you are logged in using an account with the same username/password, or a different one? I had/have lots of problems with remote logins using ssh on my MDK box, and I've taken security down to "low" through that DrakConf crap which I had to find and install manually. (sorry, I just don't like it) Apparently the rule set Mandrake creates somewhere, somehow, gets VERY fussy and limits who and how they can log in. I *have* set of ftpd (wu-ftpd, and anonftp) on the mMDK box, and cannot ftp in...Out, yes, but in, still no. It's a very quirky config. If you can, try creating an account with the same name/password on the remote machine and try getting in again. --Greg ftp and telnet lines are both uncommented but connections are refused even between the Linux computer and itself (including localhost).

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.
RE: [newbie] Remote login (telnet and X)
Hi -- You're having the same trouble I had/have. There's a part of your inetd.conf (I think) file where it allows you to allow or deny access to various IP numbers. Take a look at these. Uncommenting the lines in inetd.conf just starts the daemons. However, you probably have the default status of denying access to all workstations. Remove this denial. This should allow FTP. At least it did for me. Alas it probably won't allow telnet (at least it didn't for me). Can anybody out there tell us BOTH how to enable telnet to work? pete On Sun, 20 Aug 2000 12:48:11 -0400, Welker Donald P NPRI wrote: ftp and telnet lines are both uncommented but connections are refused even between the Linux computer and itself (including localhost).

Re: [newbie] Remote login (telnet and X)
Hi all -- I assume this is a response to Donald Welker's original and then follow-up query about FTP and Telnet. I agree with Greg that the config is quirky, but I disagree that it is a matter of login name/password on the local machine. I was actually able to fix FTP (but not Telnet) on my server by adjusting the allow/deny parts of the config. Now I can and do FTP from windows and Linux machines to the server even though one of the linux and none of the windows machines has ever heard of root or the name I usually go by when using the Linux Server. For FTP, find the allow/deny portion of the config (I think that changing this is what security actually does -- or at least one of the things it does), and allow the machines you WANT to FTP from and make sure those machines aren't denied. It should work. Now, can somebody tell me what to do to get Telnet to work? Uncommenting the daemons in inetd.conf will get telnetd turned on, so that a telnet command will connect to the server, but the server will then refuse the connection. pete On Sun, 20 Aug 2000 14:23:35 -0400, Greg Stewart wrote: Are you attempting to telnet in from a machine where you are logged in using an account with the same username/password, or a different one?

I can say that I have no problems on my network either locally or remotely logging in. As for your ftp setup not allowing you in, do you have your psswd, ftpaccess files set up properly? If you get those right and add a comment to allow anonymous ftp then everything should werk for you. Maxtor
