You put the entry in /etc/inetd.conf, not /etc/rc.local. There should be an example telnet entry in there already. Actually, that's wrong. You don't put an entry for telnetd anywhere, you should use ssh instead. If your friend can't use a ssh client, tell him he can't access your system. someone else already told you the way to locate files: use locate(1). however, that won't work if your system is not switched on all the time, in which case an equivalent (but much slower) command would be $ find / | grep telnetd (that's not quite the same, since find(1) will search filesystems which locate(1) doesn't, e.g. NFS, but it's close enough.) -- Ben Smithurst | PGP: 0x99392F7D ben@scientia.demon.co.uk | key available from keyservers and | ben+pgp@scientia.demon.co.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
