[HELP] Telnet connection refused
It seems my network has not been setup properly. When I try to telnet
to the local host I get the following message
bash# telnet adonis18.et.deakin.edu.au
Trying 128.184.81.65...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
telnet works fine if I try to connect to other hosts.
The file /etc/hosts.deny has one line
ALL: PARANOID
and ps -ax gives the following. What am I missing here? Tia. -weiping
