telnet

[Rodney Davis]

Mandrake is running at Medium security.

I looked through /usr/sbin and found neither
telnetd or in.telnetd.  And a 'whereis' command
finds neither.  This might be the problem.  But,
the in.wuftpd file is there and I get the same result
when I try and ftp into the server.

Thanks,

rodney

That would be it.

Okay... determine if /usr/sbin/in.telnetd or /usr/sbin/telnetd exists and
is executable.

But messages should say something if it wasn't.

What security level is this Mandrake running at?
