telent
I have slackware 10.2 installed on a machine. The telnet port (23) is open in the firewall. I am trying to telnet to the maching and I get the error : could not open connection to host, on port 23 : connection failed.
I am not sure if telnet is installed by slackware automatically duirng a full install.
Ineed advice to get telnet working on this box.
Thank You in advance.
Tom

Why don't you just use SSH? It's encrypted and I bet it's already enabled on your system. What are you trying to connect to your server from?

I am trying to remotely connect from an xp machine. I have tried telnet and putty. No luck with either.
Are there any settings i need to specify in putty ?
Thanks in advance,
Tom

Tom,
Download the non-commercial version of ssh from the site below... This is the program that I use to connect to any of my Linux boxes. Putty works great too. There really isn't any specific settings, just use the ssh option in the settings. SSH is a much better way to go because data isn't sent clear text.

Oh, on your server, make sure that your ssh service is running...
ps -aux | grep ssh
