Ubuntu Server 810 Telnet ** I know its Bad.. But **
I have a real need to telnet into my new Ubuntu 8.10 server and have Googled my eyes out with ideas that don't work. I CAN telnet out of the server, but I CANNOT telnet into it (connection refused error). I have updated my resolv.conf file but its expert time. ANY IDEAS??? THANKS!!! I knew I was going to have issues - haven't even gotten to adapting my Bourne Shell script issues yet - and can't get TELNET to work... GRRRRRR
I know SSH is the way to go but this is a box that is remotely used and don't have ssh. THANKS!
I hate to even say this, but I don't know - how can I check? I thought by being able to telnet out that would mean its running so it was some kind of file in /etc that I needed to update. I put my windows workstation ip in the allowed.hosts file and that still hasn't helped (using Reflections to telnet into the Server).. THANKS NEO!! Your the best for your time. Dale

So now I am confused. I normally telnet without a port and whatever port its using (I think 23 isn't working, but when I telnet to port 25 I get the following:
but it doesn't give me a prompt and then will timeout. MMmmmm.
Can I make it so my default port of 23 is used and works and how do I get a login to log into the server. THANKS!!!

Sorry, my fault.... I was busy and forgot that telnet is port 23, not 25 (which is normally SMTP mail), so you just connected, via telnet, to your mail server.
Try the same command to port 23, sorry about my error... I am doing too many things in parallel to fast.
I do the same command netstat -an |grep :23 and get nothing so I guess that's my answer its not running. Boo. Any ideas on starting it up or do I need a package? Dale
