There are two options: change ni /etc/services telnet to port 8000 and HUP your inetd. This is good if you only use telnet to go to your own machine, because next time you type telnet it assumes that the telnet-port is 8000 for everything and you will end up with a lot of connection refused if you go to the outside world. The other option is to define a new service op port 8000 (for example telnet8k), add the service to your inetd.conf (just copy the telnet-line and replace the first telnet with telnet8k). You then can telnet locally to your machine with "telnet localhost telnet8k" or from a remote machine as "telnet yourhost 8000". The first one is easier, the second one is cleaner (IMHO that is) Edwin -- Edwin Groothuis | Interested in MUDs?
