Re: Inquiry:How to enable Telnet & SSH on my Debian 3.1 server?



Thank you for your reply . Please be informed that I tried as the followings :
#apt-cache search telnet
#apt-get install telnet
At now , my Debian server can telnet to my MS Windows client but my MS Windows client cannot telnet to my Debian server . Can you please let me know what is still wrong ?
Thank you in advance

Just install the packages with the servers. In the latest version they
are openssh-server and telnetd (or another package providing
telnet-server). This may be different in previous versions, but you can
find out packages with 'apt-cache search telnet' or a similar command.

Note, however, that telnet is quite unsecure as it transmits passwords
in cleartext. ssh is better, but old versions of both may have security
problems. If you are going to have services running on your machine,
it's highly recommended to upgrade to the latest stable version, Debian
5.0 because this version gets security fixes, unlike your ancient version.
