Hi,

I just installed latest version of Redhat and I could not even
configure it so that I can telnet to it remotely. I enabled k4b5-telnet
in xinted configuration, but it will not allow telnet for a user
created by me. It is it possible to get rid of kerberos completely from
my system and make it work like good old linux days?

I keep on getting KDC realm errors which probably means that on login,
it is looking for a Kerberos server which I will never have (because it
is a home machine behind a firewall).

Thanks for help.

(PS: Is it also possible to configure it so that I can telnet as root -
I do not care about security risks)

/etc/xinetd.d/telnet  is the file to edit. if it is not there then....

As root   #locate in.telnetd

it is possible the telnet server is not even installed..   RH EL 3  doesn't
install telnet by default! "My Guess"

I have a server running on Redhat 9.0 on a university LAN, but i am not able
 to perform remote login using  telnet (and to FTP) on this. 

I have configured the following files:

/etc/xinetd.d/telenet   "disable=no" after installing telnet-server.rpm whic
h was not there in default installation, 
/etc/init.d/xinetd.d reload.

I am finding telnet "on" status using chkconfig --list. 

But when i am trying remote login, i am getting connection refused. Same is 
the problem with tftp and ssh.

Since the server is on a college LAN, i doubted some authentication problems
, but i am able to perform a remote login to Windows OS running on the same 
server.

Is there some other security issues or authentication files to be checked in
 Redhat 9.0 OS for performing remote login.

Regards
Pai
