[nos-bbs] A bad piece of pi...

[jerome schatten]

Hi Bill….  Indeed telnet and telnetd are ‘installed’, but now the question is, is telnetd turned on.  Busy day today, so I won’t get to checking out the latest suggestions on where to look for the config lines. I will report back. Thanks to all for your suggestions!

It’s a good day, I figure, when I can learn something new <g>.
