[NCLUG] Configuring Telnet on RH6.2

[Matt Pujol]

Marty,

Thanks.  The telnet server idea did it.  I got it off the RH distro.  RH, in
their infinite wisdom, decided to enable ftp and telnet via inetd.conf, but
have the default workstation configuration install either.  Then, in all their
help stuff, they act like it ought to just work.  I guess telnet and ftp
daemons are Server functions, not appropriate for Workstation.

Best Regards,

Matt
