Telnet is a part of inetd and most of inetd services you should never run. Put this in your /etc/rc.conf file: inetd_enable="YES" Also, there are a lot of good primers about setting up a desktop for the first-time. Check out http://daemonnews.org/new2bsd/. Some of it is outdated but the rest should be good. I always think it is good to invest in a book. If you are planning on sticking with BSD, it helps immeasurably in the beginning, plus it helps support the BSD community. -wtgee On Thu, 14 Oct 2004 08:28:13 -0700, Spiral Eyed Girl <spiraleyedgirl@hotmail.com> wrote: > Hello, I am a FreeBSD newbie, so please excuse me if I don't use correct > jargon :) > > I am running FreeBSD 5.2.1, and durring setup, I diabled all servers (ftp, > finger, etc).
