RE: [newbie] Telnet went bye-bye after update.
I did an update, not an upgrade. I shouldn't have to install a server since it was working before I did the upgrade unless it removes the server, which doesn't seem right. Anyway, I tried reinstalling ftp and telnet RPMS from the 6.0 CD and it is working again. :-) Why the update screws it up I don't know. Maybe Mandrake should look into this problem? Thanks for the help everyone. Regards, Mike -Original Message- From: Ronald J.

Happened to me also, go to the RPM folder on the Mandrake disk and reinstall the server for ftp and telnet.
