I'm assuming you are trying to telnet, in which case you must telnet in as admin or root.

You might try modifying the /etc/hosts.allow file (via the proper template) to include the ip address/network from which you'd be telneting from [this would seriously comprimise security].

It's not a bug, it's a feature. (-:  For security reasons, you aren't able to access the e-smith manager from outside the LAN.  If you really wanted to do it, you could edit /etc/httpd/conf/access.conf.  Look for the section on e-smith-manager (just search for that string) and change "allow from 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.0" to "allow from all".  It's a big security hole, though.

It's been rolled into httpd.conf now. Have a look in the directory:

 /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

This directory is full of template fragments which get combined into the final httpd.conf file. You can create additional fragment files if you want anything extra to get inserted into the final httpd.conf file; by prefixing your fragment with a number you can control where it ends up in the file.

We'll be updating our www.e-smith.org site soon to reflect the changes in the product architecture.

Hope this helps,
