Enable TELNET in Read hat Linux
 

Hello friends,
I've just install Linux and try to enable TELNET service but it not done well.
Can anyone help me to config and enable TELNET?
Thanks alot!

Welcome to LQ!

1) What version of Redhat Linux are you using. Keep in mind that support Redhat Linux 9 was stopped in May 2004. If you are running RH9, I strongly suggest that you upgrade.
The current version of Redhat Enterprise Linux is version 5 (?), which is an excellent product for servers, but not really for desktops. The successor to Redhat 9 was Fedora, with the current Fedora release at version 7.

Can you please put your distro information into your profile - it makes it easier for us to help you.

2) Unless you have special requirements, you should not use Telnet. Use SSH instead, which is a much more secure alternative. Telnet sends data (including passwords) in plain text - SSH encrypts everything.

3) How have you tried to install Telnet? You say it was "not done well" - what do you mean? Do you get any error messages? What exactly is not working?

I've just configured SSH instead of Telnet. And now I will use SSH as ur suggestion.
Again, thanks a lot!
