herisson26 : 01/08/03 10:12 AM : Incident created -   Hi, I'm trying to use telnet or ssh on my local network. So I installed telnet-server & openssh-server packages. It works fine when I login from the same machine (i.e. when I do telnet/shh 192.168.0.1 or 127.0.0.1 on the machine whose IP is 192.168.0.1), but connection is refused when I try to telnet from the other one (telnet 192.168.0.1 on the computer whose IP is 192.168.0.2). I tried many xinetd.conf and xinetd.d/telnet files. I even tried to allow connections from any host (only_from=0.0.0.0/0 in both xinetd.conf and xinetd.d/telnet !), but the result is still the same : connection allowed only from the same computer. Can anyone help me ? Thanks in advance.

If the firewall is turned on, and denying telnet, it will appear in the output above. --------- Note: If this answer resolves your problem, please remember to close this incident.
