Re: Telnet problems
You should check your /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny, and your
ipchains.

PS. I would recommend using ssh instead of telnet because of security
issues. (ssh is encrypted and therefore lot safer, telnet eg. sends
passwords over the network as plain text)

I can telnet to it from itself 127.0.0.1 and from a box with the IP of 209.240.44.14, I determined that the 14 IP works by reconfiguring 2 other boxs to to use that IP (one at a time of couse), one was RH 6.1 and other Windows NT 4.0. Both could telnet in without a problem but no box from anyother IP will work. This was working fine for months then suddenly it just stoppped. Sounds like it is only allowing specific IP's to access it. Any idea where I would go to change this?
