Did you actually install the telnet-server package? Did you look at your firewall rules and open up port 23? Did you reload xinetd after editing the telnet file? Did you look at your /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow files? -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
