telnet
- Thread starter madkayak
- Start date
the problem is that the telnet server is disabled. to fix this you will need to be logged in as root
go into the /etc/xinetd.d folder and modify the file telnet
change the line
disabled = yes
to
disable = no
then run the command
/etc/init.d/xinetd restart
However if this system is on the 'net, I suggest you use SSH instead. Its a lot more secure.
