I was the guy trying to open up a way to telnet to port 8080 on one of my machines to get around an overly protective firewall at my comrade's place of business. The synopsis: It's pretty easy, provided you want it open all the time. Just add the following to /etc/services: goomba 8080/tcp # Special firewall login spigot goomba 8080/udp and this to /etc/inetd.conf goomba stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/telnetd telnetd That, and then a $ kill -1 (pid of inetd) did the trick. Of course, this is another hole in one's security; I really should be running something more secure on this instead of telnetd, but this will work for the short term. Special thanks to Christopher Michaels and Doug White for their help. ---Ken To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
