linux setup of telnet service?
Hello:
I am trying to set up a Linux system (SuSe 8.0) to serve telnet sessions opened from client machines (Win32 or Linux). Inetd has been started. View of its configuration shows telnet to be Active. Ping verifies connection between server and client.
However, client trying to telnet to the server address sees message, ‘Connecting'. There follows a brief period of inactivity. The message then appears, ‘connection has been lost'. No message prompting user to log in occurs. Telnet to another host from said client does work.
What configuring steps should be added?
Thanks for your time; – pipemole – Wed.9/24/2003;
