I have added my ip range in the allow file, I have turned off the firewall option. What else am I missing to allow telnet from a local network. First, make sure that you have the telnet server package installed: rpm -q telnet-server If it comes back with "telnet-server-xxx" where xxx is some sort of version info, then you'll run: /sbin/chkconfig telnet on to turn the service on. As a precaution, once you've used the chkconfig line, above, you can: /sbin/service xinetd restart to make sure that xinetd reloads with the telnet server available. -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Visit the Dog Pound II BBS telnet://dogpound2.citadel.org or http://dogpound2.citadel.org To be notified of updates to the web site, visit http://www.bubbanfriends.org/mailman/listinfo/site-update, or send a message to: site-update-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with a message of: subscribe
