| I ran the setup program from the command line and turned on Telnet. After
rebooting the system, I am getting connection refused.
Fedora Core 4
What did I miss???
Is there somewhere else to post FC4 questions?
TIA

Hi,
Most likely the firewall or SELinux settings.

If it's the firewall the client should hang, then timeout. "Connection
Refused" is a response from the server.
The service probably isn't running. This could, as stated above, be caused
by the SELinux setup or a telnet configuration issue.
The other prerequisite response to a telnet server question: If the server
in question is going to be connected to the internet your server will have
about twenty minutes of uptime before it's cracked and zombified or
killed. Telnet is very insecure.
If it's going to be connected to the internet you should use ssh instead
of telnet.
