Greetings, I have tried to get putty configured to access my 5.1 release box using SSH. No joy, and I'm quite tired of trying.
I tried to enable telnet on my 5.1 box. Uncommented inetd.conf line, and verified that the services line was in place. I tried to connect to the box with telnet and got a connection refused. Even rebooted the box with the same result.
I am accessing this box on my internal network, and my firewall blocks the telnet port, so I'm not worried about outside access. So, telnet will get me by for now.
Any ideas what's wrong ?
BTW, searched the mailing list archives on freebsd.org , but didn't find info about this.
thanks, Darryl
"Your firewall blocks the telnet port" ... Are you sure that:
1. Your firewall is not blocking the port
on your LAN interface as well?
2. Your telnet/PuTTY session is attempting
to connect to the correct interface?Kevin Kinsey
