I need to use telnet login on the local network. How can I allow SME 6. 0 to let me do this.

oldtony,

Why telnet? it's insecure. Use ssh instead, ssh is encrypted and secure (as can be). If your in a windows enviroment use putty as the client it's free and easy to use.

thanks for the info & the reply
i need & want to use telnet for some special reasons. Since it's on the local network secutity is not the problem. i have a start up routine that allows for multi sessions like on sco unix using telnet.
so if possible i would like to enable telnet.

(I have a terminal emulator "alpha from Omni com" that works on xp pro & it allows the security program  fortres to lock out all other uses of xp pro. so anyhow we need 7 want to use telnet.

thanks
old tony

Hi oldtony

From the FAQs:
http://no.longer.valid/phpwiki/index.php/Tweaking%20FAQs

Log into the console as root
Type in: /sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop telnet status enable
Press: ENTER
Type in: /sbin/e-smith/signal-event console-save
Press: ENTER

to check status:
Type in: /sbin/e-smith/config show telnet
Press: ENTER

For everybody else: pls don't use telnet. The Putty-SSH tools described by psoren are not only more secure, they're more usable, and can be used by anyone who already knows how to use telnet, without needing training. It supports multiple simultaneous sessions by the same or multiple users.
