RedHat 9 Peer2Peer Network

[Dirk <bothasp@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Right now I'm willing to try just about anything short of a hammer to get 
telnet working on my LAN at home.

There is no switch/hub, so that should not be an issue.

I've configured xinetd to allow for telnet and have my /etc/hosts configured 
for a priavate network with static IP addresses.

/etc/host.conf reads:
order hosts, bind

/etc/hosts.allow reads:
ALL: 192.168.0.

/etc/hosts.deny is empty

/etc/xinetd.d/telnet reads:
service telnet
{
        flags                   =       REUSE
        socket_type     =       stream
        wait                    =       no
        user                    =       root
        server          =       /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
        log_on_failure  +=      USERID
        disable         =       no
}

Ping works beutifully, so the network is there and the machines can see 
eachother. The way I understand it, I should now be able to use telnet.

I've also tried setting xinetd to allow fo ftp and rlogin. But all of them 
report that the connection is refused, or something to that effect.

I can only assume that this is some kind of permission problem, but I'm not at 
all sure of that. If any of you know of something that I'm missing, please be 
so kind as to trow this poor sod a bone.

Thanks,
Dirk.
