TELNET-how to allow remote logins

[failureto]

hi
I'm running red hat 9.0
Before you say anything,I know SSH is more secure!

If you want to run Telnet server,and allow remote users to login,where and how must you specify for telnet to allow
REMOTE logins?
I assume REMOTE logins are not allowed by default cos I can't login from one PC to another

There should be a file /etc/xinetd.d/telnet which contains the line "disable=yes". Change it to "disable=no" and restart xinetd. As I recall, that's it.

telnet by default on RedHat is remote-user friendly.
xinetd has the ability to restrict by IP/Network, and I'm not terribly sure that telnet has a config file that would provide any more smarts then that.

Oh yeah, and SSH is more secure. lol! ;-)
