Using SSH is, IMO, superior. But if you are dead set on using Telnet (perhaps due to lack of an SSH client - I suggest PuTTY), then you must be running the INETD daemon. And you must have a dedicated port number on z/OS to use. We use port 2023. In the /etc/inetd.conf file, you need a line like:
2023 stream tcp nowait BPXROOT /usr/sbin/otelnetd otelnetd -l -t -D login Replace the "2023" with the port you want to use. Then, to get a UNIX shell prompt, you telnet into that port number. This works for me. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
