Telnet is easy to use, but it's starting to be "phased" out because it's
insecure.

The odds are, if you're dealing with a Mandrake 8.0 install, the telnet
server is not installed.  As I recall, it's not set to install
automatically.  But run this command to determine if the server is
actually started.

[timh@r2d2 timh]$ rpm -qa | grep telnet
gnome-telnet-2.4-2mdk
telnet-0.17-7mdk
ktelnet-0.7b1-7mdk

As you can see, I don't have the telnet server installed.  The RPM
you're looking for is telnet-server-0.17-7mdk.i586.rpm.  As I recall,
it's on the first CD.

Try:

rpm -ivh telnet-server-0.17-7mdk.i586.rpm

Then try and telnet to the machine.  However I would suggest you find
the OpenSSH RPMs on the disc, install those and leave telnet server
unistalled.

[timh@ericekong mandrake80]$ ls -la openssh* | awk '{print
$5,$6,$7,$8,$9}'
130192 Apr 13 10:14 openssh-2.5.2p2-3mdk.i586.rpm
31197 Apr 13 10:14 openssh-askpass-2.5.2p2-3mdk.i586.rpm
11513 Apr 13 10:14 openssh-askpass-gnome-2.5.2p2-3mdk.i586.rpm
213305 Apr 13 10:14 openssh-clients-2.5.2p2-3mdk.i586.rpm
151961 Apr 13 10:14 openssh-server-2.5.2p2-3mdk.i586.rpm

Those would be the RPMs you'd need to install.  Hope that helps ya.
tdh
