Re: [newbie] Unable to telnet into Mandrake box
Works like a charm !! thank you so much for the help. Next, updating Netscape.. jason On Thu, 11 Nov 1999, you wrote: My hosts file is fine. I did remove the search servername line in the resolv.conf and that fixed the ping problem. I still can't telnet in. Does the standard install of Mandrake 6.1 have both the server and client side apps for telnet? Go to ftp.rpmfind.net/linux/Mandrake/6.1/Mandrake/RPMS/ and get the file "telnet-server-0.12-10mdk.i586.rpm" and install that. That file will take care of your inability to telnet into the machine.
Re: [newbie] Unable to telnet into Mandrake box
I had this same problem. When you do a custom install.. the in.telnetd daemon doesnt get installed .. so i went back and did a workstation install .. and it was there .. go figure ... after you have the file .. go to /usr/sbin and make sure its exec by owner, group and other, and then go to /etc/inetd.conf and make sure telnet is uncommented.

Mount the CDROM and see if there's a file "telnet-server" in the "RPMS" directory. If so, type "rpm -i telnet-serversome_version_stuff_here.i586.rpm" John
