CentOS server not accepting Telnet requests
Hi Guys,
I have a CentOS 5.0 server newly installed and trying to configure telnet on it. I have done the following already Code:
0n the xinetd.d/telnet file Code:
/etc/init.d/vsftpd start Code:
/etc/init.d/xinted reload Code:
"Unencrypted connection refused. Goodbye". PS:I have managed to set up telnet on CentOS 3.4 and FC 5 and works fine. Thank you in-advance, Best Regards, A :). |
Use SSH2 instead if you can, as far as I understand it's (a lot) more secure than telnet. Especially if you ever planned to use passwords..
The error message seems to tell that the server won't allow unencrypted connections (whatever it means in this case) and that you are trying to establish an unencrypted connection, and so it fails. Solution: either make your server accept unencrypted connections too (not wise I'm afraid, or safe) or make your client connect with encryption.. |
You mean to use a telnet client for windows such as putty to use SSH2/SSH? Whats the command like to telnet using SSH2 from a UNIX machine to another UNIX machine?
Thanks for your reply b0uncer. Any more answers welcome. Thank you in-advance, Regards, A. |
run the following command and check the output
Code:
# chkconfig --list | grep telnet Code:
ekrb5-telnet: on Code:
# chkconfig ekrb5-telnet off Also, try using SSH instead of telnet. its quiet easy to configure and use. more at: http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/w...d_File_Copying |
Using SSH2 I could Telnet to the Server.
@mmn357157: Only ekrb5-telnet: on krb5-telnet: on was on. Thanks Guys for all your help :) Best Regards, Azzath. |

Hi,
You should start a new thread describing your problem and not a 3ys old one. Anyways since port 23 is open from localhost, are you sure it's not a firewall problem? |

In Centos OS, I allowed port 23 (Telnet) in Firewall configuration option In Windows Firewall of Window OS , it exceptions port 23 Finally : Quote:
