Where to start, telnet server

nutthick · 11-16-2004, 11:01 AM

I'm trying to remote administer a linux box (from an XP box) through telnet on a 192.168.0.* network. I'm assuming I need to setup some sort of telnet server, but I can't find any details of how to do it anywhere. I'm running RH9 on a Celeron. Can anyone help?

ssh

putty is a good client for windows--

[edit]is there a specific reason you require telnet over ssh?[/edit]

I would also suggest putty for the Windoze client. I use putty and ssh.

I believe ssh is the default setup on RH distro's.
You can go to your RedHat menu (That's what I call it, you know the redhat in the bottom left hand corner), select System Settings -> services and look in there and you should see sshd ticked(checked).

I strongly suggest ssh over telnet.

ciao.
