if u r using redhat 8.0 (not sure about prev ver) it has a default policy to block incoming connections. so either u need to completely disable the iptables (not good thing) or u can delete the specific rule to block telnet. iptables -F INPUT (flush INPUT rules)
if telnet service is off from superserver xinetd.d then start like this chkconfig telnet on (affect will loose after the reboot). if u want to permanently enable xinetd.d telnet service then open /etc/xinetd.d/telnet and on the line "disable = yes", replace no by "no" hope it solves. vineet On Tue, 2002-12-17 at 01:16, Sauron the Dark Lord wrote: > telnet should be enabled at port 23( default port ) > > add or uncomment the folowing line in /etc/services > > telnet 23/tcp > > also check /etc/pam.d directory, it has a file for telnet services where it > might tagged as "disabled", if it is then change it to "enabled" or "enable" > as suitable. > > regards > Sauron the Dark Lord > ----- Original Message ----- > From: ritesh_aladdin > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, December 16, 2002 7:57 PM > Subject: [ilugd]: Telnet Problem > > > Hii every one > i have Linux based networking in 3 Pcs . i have installed and configured > the NIS , NFS and Samba server succesfully . but when i try to execute the > Telnet Command to login remote machines , it displays the 'Connection > Refused ' message .. while ping Command is executed successfully .. what's > wrong with system . > except this any one can tell me the command which shows the list of users > currently login in different remote machines including local host with other > usefull options like idle time , etc > and how can i execute Talk command , > soo questions , but i hope . i will get help from yours > thnx > Ritesh Agrawal > > > > > Get Your Private, Free E-mail from Indiatimes at http://email.indiatimes.com > Buy the best in Movies at http://www.videos.indiatimes.com > Now bid just 7 Days in Advance and get Huge Discounts on Indian Airlines > Flights.
