i have linux server and i need test the communication between this server and some host using telnet.
how can i do this ?
The linux version 2.6. 29 3-1 smp.gcc3.4.x86 i686 (rap-master.rpath.com@rpath:linuc-1-devel) (gcc version 3.4.3)

i need the telnet client that compatible with my linux server version ?
the second question
when try to install using this command rpm -ivh filename.rpm
it return rpm not found

how can i get the rpm and install in to my server

first unless this server is OFFLINE and locked behind your lan

DO NOT use telnet
it is VERY INSECURE!!!!
use ssh instead with SHA256 or SHA512


as to what version of what operating system this is

all i can tell quickly is that it is a bit OLD
with a old kernel built with the old gcc 3.4 compiler ( the Legacy compatibility compiler)

with this a rpm based system
please post the output of this

i am betting this is one of the no longer supported RHEL4 operating systems
or maybe Oracles 5.?

you NEED to be the root user to use rpm

also rpm should ONLY be used as the VERY VERY LAST resort
the tool "yum" replaced rpm many years ago

yum was designed to solve Problems that rpm caused
( package dependencies )

as to that please ALSO post the output of this command

Dear
i log to Applaince AS ROOT user
i try to run this command
cat /etc/redhat-release command not found
And
cat /etc/*-release return RSA SecurID Appliance 3.0.4.14.

and
cat /proc/version return linux version 2.6. 29 3-1 smp.gcc3.4.x86 i686 (rap-master.rpath.com@rpath:linuc-1-devel) (gcc version 3.4.3)

and
yum command not found
and
rpm command not found

yum update command not found
and
rpm -qa command not found
and
yum list installed command not found

Contact EMC (as they took over RSA) support and ask them which Service Pack you need.

@unSpawn is there are any way like telnet client tools to test communication between Linux Appliance and any other host with specific port ?
like i need to test between my version of Linux system to My mail server on port 25

Hi,

Try "nc" (netcat) or "socat" if they're installed. They can both be used for testing in similar ways to telnet.

Examples:
