Need help adding telnet to firewall

HyperTrey · 06-12-2007, 09:16 AM

How do I add telnet (port 23) to permanently be allowed by the firewall without screwing up the firewall itself? (using iptables)

I also did the following:

chkconfig telnet on
/etc/init.d/xinetd restart
and changed the line to read disable = yes in /etc/xinetd.d/telnet

How do I make this permanent so I don't lose it on restart of machine?

This is a test server and we are testing our software with telnet and ssh both.

Something like:

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 23 -j ACCEPT

in your firewall script should do it.
