Re: Help! telnetd not working!



I'm very well aware that telnet is not a secure protocol, and would
never install it on a machine that is directly accessible to the outside
world. It's on a fileserver on an internal network behind a firewall. I
do know what I'm doing from this respect. I'm a newbie to Debian, not to
*NIX and networking.
