Alrighty, lets tackle one problem at a time please.
1) Telnet
I need a telnet protocal on my brandspanking new gentoo box. I can't get telnet to work at all and neither can web apps that use telnet. i couldn't find a package on gentoo's website to emerge for telnet, so any help on how to get a telnet client or a telnet command would be great.
2) newsgroups
I edited /root/.newsrc (root b/c that was the user i was in to emerge the remaining packages i needed. so it looked something like this
| Code: |
git.cc.class.cs1321.announce:
git.cc.class.cs1321.rec:
git.cc.class.cs1321.lab:
|
after i edited those in there, i ran tin and was given an error. I think that if I can somehow tell tin to look to news.gatech.edu for my news server it will fix itself. How do i do that though?
3) How exactly do i go about getting a webserver (apache) configured on my machine? I emerged it .. but yeah, it merged itself to the point i dont know where it is or what to do .
thanks for any help you give.

emerge -s telnet
will give you two choices. It's pretty much up to you which to install.
<standard telnet is bad use ssh disclaimer>
If you're using telnet for testing, such as telnet 10.10.10.1 80, then cool. If you actually want to telnet to your server then bad because telnet sends everything in the clear. openssh is a secure way to telnet to machines using strong encryption. There are free clients for windows (putty) and *nix. Also you'll need to be running the openssh server on the machine you wish to ssh to.
</disclaimer>
Not sure on the tin bit, it's been 8 years since I last used it.

Telnet -
emerge has a handy-dandy search function. Like so:
Either netkit-telnetd or telnet-bsd should give you what you need. BTW - you know that you should never, ever use telnet over a public network (i.e. the Internet), right? All text, including usernames and passwords are transmitted in cleartext, and are vulnerable to eavesdropping. If you are on an untrusted net you should use ssh if at all possible, and keep it up to date!

I use netkit-telnetd. But make your choice.
Question 3:
The Gentoo desktop guide apperas to have a rudimentary Apache Webserver How-to under | Quote: | | 8. Apache and Squirrelmail Webmail |
Plus there are tons of sites if you do a Google search for:
Its pretty well established webserver.
Hope this helps.
