TELNET

[johny2K]

i tried to open "www, ftp, ssh, telnet" using redhat-config-securitylevel (ticked/checked option), but i'm still getting "connection rejected by host" everytime i tried telnet.

any idea?

Sounds like your personal (local) firewall is blocking,

From the servers command line (as root) do: ipchains -L this will show you a list of the rules inplace.

Turn off the firewall and test again (service ipchains stop) or /etc/init.d/ipchains stop

Also confirm that those ports are listening with: netstat -l

Good Luck,
Laurie.

Also check and see if you have those services running. Xinetd and so on .

hello,

here's what i got:

/etc/init.d/ipchains stop is not compatible with the current kernel.

$ telnet 192.168.1.12
trying 192.168.1.12
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
$

and finally - I can telnet from this machine to other UNIX box/es.

thanks

finaly, here's what i've done:

1. login as root
2. go to /etc/xinetd.d directory
3. edit telnet file
4. change line disable = yes to
disable = no
5. restart xinetd, by;

/etc/init.d/xinetd restart

6. at command prompt, run redhat-config-securitylevel
7. tick/check all you wanted to start/avail; ftp, ssh, telnet, etc.
8. test it, by:

telnet <hostname> or

telnet <ip_address>

presto!
