Greetings,

I am trying to telnet into a Linux RedHat 5.2 machine on our LAN from an
NT 4 Server on the same LAN, but it is immediately refused before even
getting to the point of asking for a login name and password.
The error returned is "Connection Failed!".
The strange thing is that all other machines can telnet into linux no
problem, and even the NT Server can ping and ftp the linux machine, just
not telnet.
We have checked the hosts file on each machine and the opposing number
is listed in each.

Any pointers please!!?

Thanks for your help.

Matt.

Check /etc/inetd.conf. It that's okay, then check out /etc/hosts.deny.
