Telnetd can't run from the command line; what you need to do is enable inetd in /etc/rc.conf, inetd_enable="YES" Then uncomment the telnetd line in /etc/inetd.conf, and add the world 'secure' to the first few pty lines in /etc/ttys to allow root login (unless you want to create an additional account) # Pseudo terminals ttyp0 none network secure ttyp1 none network secure ... > I'd still like to be able to get vi to run -- call it a mini- > project for me.

It may be possible to locate, or even come up with, a termcap entry that would work for the OpenFirmware console, but given that there has to be a new type of console (e.g. a syscons re-work, or a port of NetBSD's wscons) to get USB to work, there's not much point in spending the time on it. later, Peter.
