Enabling Telnet

telnetd on Openbsd. This is a fresh 2.6 install. I can't even find
telnetd, though the man page is there.
Thanks,

#telnet .....
in your /etc/inetd.conf
Remove the hash mark from the beginning of the line, and then HUP inetd
so that it will read the changes
kill -HUP `cat /var/run/inetd.pid`

Just like you would enable/disable it in every other unix -- in
/etc/inetd.conf
Patrick Ethier
By default, services like telnet and ftp are provided through InetD. So, to
enable/disable telnet go to /etc/inetd.conf and remove the comment, and then
"kill -HUP #" where # is the PID for inetd that you obtain from "ps -ax".
Then, to verify that you are listening to that port (23), use "netstat -an"
or "netstat -a" to make sure it worked.
I suggest you use SSH instead of telnet unless you are really obligated to
use telnet for some other reasons. There are free Windoze SSH clients
also... SSH and SSHD(The SSH daemon) are loaded automatically with OpenBSD.
Read the docs at http://www.openssh.com
Have fun,

I'm new at openbsd, so please excuse my ignorance, but how to you enable
telnetd on Openbsd. This is a fresh 2.6 install. I can't even find
telnetd, though the man page is there.

As telnet is not secure, it is not enabled.
Try ssh instead.

work with anymore).

Telnet is telnet.. most likely you are looking for SSLTelnet or something
like that.. why not just use ssh as this does work on windows as well?

This is the whole point of including ssh in the distribution!

Hi Patrick, do you know of any good win32 ftp client supporting
ssh or other secure mode? I tried to use putty/ssh dong ftp but
can't figure out how. Can I, for instance, use ssh with cuteFTP
to protect transfer? Please shed some light on this. Thanks.

SecureFX from http://www.vandyke.com/
works fine with OpenSSH using SSH protocol 2
(you need a current OpenBSD snapshot for this).

I've seen several reports on Van Dyke Technologies Inc. were bussy with a
secure FTP client. This using the windows platform to access sshd on the
remote machine giving it an FTP like interface. But knowing Van Dyke. You
can only download it from within the USA.
Several documents were writen on ftp through, but this was mainly for the
unices running with ssh. I lost the docs. So I cant help you here :(

AFAIK last time i did it TeraTerm did acted as a good ssh client.
Patrick Ethier
I know there's an option to tunnel whatever protocol over SSH. I've
personally never tried this but apparently it works quite well. There's a
howto on the linux.com page that explains how to create a VPN using SSH. The
same technique applies to tunneling FTP. You could start there.
The other option is to use SCP. I use it all the time when I'm on the
console, but to transfer between a windows box and OBSD using SCP the only
SSH client that does this that I know if is F-Secures's SSH client. You can
download a demo at http://www.datafellows.com
It's a little more expensive that using FTP over SSH but a lot less trouble
to set up.
