qeldroma Posted October 28, 2002 Report Share Posted October 28, 2002 I want to administrate some clients in a local subnet. I can connect to the server via DSL and SSH. What i tried: 1. Connect to the server through ssh 2. Connect to the client through telnet. Problem: The telnet connect works, but if the login question comes up, he doesn't accept my password, don't know why. When i am trying the pasword local in a shell, it works, but not with telnet?! What i am on the way to try: 1. connect server through ssh 2. connect to the client with ssh I don't know why, but the client (LM8.2) got errors when i am trying to "urpmi openssh-server". So it doesn'T work till now. Another thing is speed, because it will be a doubled ssh connection. I think it is enoug to connect to the server via ssh, to the client i don't need more than telnet. So the most interesting thing is, why telnet doesn't work. Do i have to give the logins free for telnet?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qeldroma Posted October 28, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2002 Additional i found out that telnet doesn't accept root but all others. That's all that was needed to go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's by definition. Just security-wise. If I'm not mistaken, telnetd may be configured to accept root login, but by default it doesn't.[/b] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYinYeti Posted October 30, 2002 Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 If you're at machine A and you connect to B by ssh, and you want from this session to connect from B to A, you have to use ssh again IMO. When you run an ssh session, all you do is a secure remote access. You're "sort of" at machine B. If on machine B you do telnet, it will use the telnet port, no matter if you're really on B or if you use B via ssh. Nothing sure, though... Yves.
