As I didnt know what the heck to edit out of this post I left it all in for my reply. sorry but it was all to convoluted to not include. At any rate, Ive got RH 4.2 box that I put together to see what all the fuss was over linux a few weeks back and while it accepts telnet connections properly from my freebsd machines it only seems to balk when I log out and says con25 unknown terminal type. I wont bother changing anything as the linux box is stuck in a dark corner of my basement and I rarely ever go to it as its pretty much a single purpose machine to run rc5 from d.net. Easier to telnet when I need to work on it. :) Keith To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
