telnet server setup question


I'm trying to setup a telnet server on a computer running redhat 7.1 on our intranet, with an assigned ip. Telneting in both locally and remotely brings up a login prompt, but then isn't validating either the username or the password (after entering password, just getting "Login incorrect".

Anybody know a fix to this? Are there seperate user/password listings for network services?

Thanks in advance,

-Charles

As far as I know, you must have accounts set up on the telnet server that match the username and passwd that you are using to connect to the server.

So, if you are loging in with:

Username: foo
Passwd: foofoo

this account must exist on the server for authentication purposes.

Again, I THINK this is necessary.
