Then all those who said "get rid of telnet" really *meant* "get rid of telnet-server." Right? So does that mean I should run "yum install telnet" on all machines? With the server on none? Or only the client on only the machine with the printer? What responds to "telnet 192.168.a.b 631" on a machine with no telnet at all? For that matter, what about "ssh 192.168.a.b 631" instead? I am at least relatively familiar with ssh. If the KVM switch's printserver really was what suddenly crippled my #1 machine, it's certainly worth a lot of effort setting up another way. (And yes, I still realize that we don't know for sure; that's still just the working hypothesis.) At least, it's worth it to me -- even though, at the moment, I'm getting more confused rather than less so ... <sigh> -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
