Re: Telnet from M$win to Debian (newbie)
First, give up on logging in as root over telnet unless you want to ignore
about a dozen rules of thumb for computer security and override one or two
built in safties. As for normal users, I haven't needed any special perms
to get a few dozen friends to log into my box: you're sure that you have
telnetd installed? Perhaps the remote host is in hosts.deny (it sounds
like that might be the prob, but I really don't know for sure)? If you
really need to use the root account, first login as a user, then su. HTH

Failure is not an option. It comes bundled with your Microsoft product.
