Telnet Server
I would like to setup a telnet server on my Linux (Redhat 7.3) box, and was wondering what I needed to do to set it up. I know I should use SSH, but the Linux box is only in my network, so security isn't really an issue (let alone the issue of setting SSH up, too!).
I've read the man page on telnet (and a few google searches), and didn't see anything about the telnet server or daemon...do I need to download a package, or is it somewhere hidden in there? Thanks for the help! JD |
Well, I MUD a bit and that uses the telnet protocol, all I did was configure and compile it, then I ran the autorun file.... it was a breeze, but that was in Mandrake

you'll need to install the telnet-server package from your distro cd's. you've not given any information about your distro though, so i can't give you an example download site.

Since you are using Redhat 7.3, you should have an RPM called telnet-server-x.xx-xx (I don't remember the version) on your CDs.
Also, the SSH server is as easy to install as Telnet, look for openssh openssh-clients openssh-server |

At this point, I'm not sure how to mount the CD drive and such, but I think that that's a quick search on google...I'll look for the packages on my CDs and install the telnet server package. Thanks again for the info. JD |
It would seem that SSHd is already installed on your system.
Use the following command to view all installed services on your system. chkconfig --list If sshd is there, then use the service command (service sshd status) to view its current state. Also, if you type service sshd, it will display a list of possible options (start, stop, restart, ...). |

One last thing. (actually this should have been the first :D )
The following command will search the list of installed RPMs for ssh. Code:
rpm -qa | grep ssh Then yes, you need to install them because there were not installed... my mistake :p You can do the same for telnet, if you still want telnet. |
