Red Hat 8.0 Telnet
HI dose anyone know how to get telnet woking in Redhat 8.0 I have installed it but can't connect to it I get a connection refused message, I have no firewall installed and can't find the telnet configuration file to see if it's disabled.

/etc/xinetd.d/telnet
do yourself a favour and don't use telnet, use ssh instead. |
Telnet Configuration File.
I know the telnet config file is in /etc/xinetd.d in RH 7.2 but I can't find it there in RH 8.0. Can anyone else locate it?

You've probably not installed the telnet server.
I believe it's left out by default. look for telnetd in the RPMS directory on your cds.. install : rpm -i telnetd look in /etc/xinetd.d/ for the default telnet entry. Change 'disable=yes' to 'disable=no' change your firewall of choice to drop packets on port 23 if you don't want it available externally. Sometimes you *have* to have telnet access :P Here's my config for /xinetd.d/telnet # default: on # description: The telnet server serves telnet sessions; it uses \ # unencrypted username/password pairs for authentication. service telnet { flags = REUSE socket_type = stream wait = no user = root server = /usr/sbin/in.telnetd log_on_failure += USERID disable = no } Slick |
