Ah. Didn't know that. Learn something new every day.

Definitely. SSH should be preferred over telnetd. I'm currently supporting telnetd in a legacy mode, but I anticipate cutting it off in the next 12 months.

Hello,<br />
I'm running red hat linux AS, and I would like to set up this machine to act as a telnet server.<br />
In a nutshell, I was wondering how to do this, or maybe more specifically, if there is any guide that would tell me how to do this.<br />
Thanks

Telnet server on Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
