 |
|
I have search the HOWTOs on xinetd and inetd, all of which left me confused. I even tried some instructions from Redhat, but the config files these guides reference are seemingly nonexistent with gentoo.
Could someone please help me out?
Thx.

Any reason you don't just use ssh?

`rc-update add sshd default`
`/etc/init.d/sshd start`
a "recent" version of openssh is shipped in the 1.x tarballs, the latest is in the newest portage and takes 5-10m to merge. Get yourself a copy of putty (for windows) if necessary and go nuts.
If you absolutely need telnet then simply emerge xinetd, and enable telnetd support through it. No walkthrough from me, get ssh :)

As Hellfire stated before, you can't just telnet to the ssh port.
SSH provides an encrypted connection, where, contrarily to plain telnet, your passwords and data don't go through the network as cleartext.
So, to connect to an SSH port from anothe computer:

When ussing PuTTY don't forget to set the SSH option. It opens a telnet connection by default.

In order to telnet into a gentoo box, you will need to install a telnetd since one isn't installed by default. You can emerge net-misc/netkit-telnetd, and sys-apps/xinetd. At that point, you can add this to your /etc/xinetd.conf:
service telnet
{
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
bind = <ip_of_box>
log_on_failure += USERID
}
