But if you don't care about security just edit /etc/inetd.conf and you will see the line #telnet stream tcp .... Remove "#" from the line and also remove "#" from ftp line if you want ftp server running. Save this file, and from cmd line type # ps -ax | grep inetd Get the process number and restart inetd daemon with # kill -1 "number" Now you will be able to telnet to the machine. NOTE: You still won't be able to login as a root. http://docs.freebsd.org/mail/archive/2000/freebsd-net/20000507.freebsd-net.h tml Check these postings to see "How do I login as root using telnet"...
