I cannot stress how important it is NOT to install telnet. Please make the Internet a safer place and install openssh. It's on the 7.2 CDs and there are clients for every platform. I'd also recommend against wu-ftpd, and install proftpd, if you can't find the RPMs for it I'll be happy to put mine up my members area on tclug. -- Minneapolis St. Paul Twin Cities MN | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.mn-linux.org Minnesota Linux | Fax : (952)943-8500 Key fingerprint = 6C E9 51 4F D5 3E 4C 66 62 A9 10 E5 35 85 39 D9
