Hi guys,

How do we install telnet on gentoo... and how is it configured ...??

I have installed using 2004.1 minimal live cd, kernel 2.6.5

Any links to detail documentation regarding telnet installation ??

The telnet client.... just like we have in windows 2000 professional...

I am a newbie... so I am trying to identify everything related to windows...

you could use netkit-telnetd, the default linux telnet client and deamon. To get it:

emerge net-misc/netkit-telnetd.

If you have X running you could give putty a try. It is both a ssh (ver 1,2) and telnet client.

emerge net-misc/putty

You don't want telnet (huge security risk), you want ssh, so emerge openssh if you haven't done so.
