In order to allow a friend to use a program on my machine, I wish to let her telnet in (I dislike telnet, but she's not allowed to install SSH :( ).
Anyhow, I tried to setup the telnet damian and when I attempt to start it by hand I get: $/usr/sbin/in.telnetd in.telnetd: getpeername: Socket operation on non-socket The lines in /etc/inetd.conf for this are: telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/in.telnetd -a valid And lastly, if osmeone attempts to telnet in (to let inetd.conf start it up) the error log shows: May 25 13:35:05 c606733-b inetd[4608]: getpwnam: telnetd: No such user May 25 13:35:05 c606733-b tcplogd: telnet connection attempt from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Suggestions?
