Hi there,

How can I telnet from my linux box to a server?

Regards,
Ed

At the command line, use the following syntax.

Code:

telnet -l username myserver.com

Tried that but I'm getting a
/usr/bin/telnet: Permission denied.

You should be using ssh unless telnet is required.

Hi all

1) Is port 25 usually open or required open on any mail server?

I suppose it is a security breach, from administration point of view what purpose does it serve?

thanks
