I'd assume that 'telnet hostname 443' is intended to be a test for an https web service - which should in fact not permit a connection without ssl encryption. The linux version of telnet probably tries to do some options negotiations before it says it is connected and perhaps the windows version doesn't. A better test would be wget https://adp.eease.com -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
