Re: [ILUG-BOM] How to setup Telnet / FTP / Rlogin / SSH
by Amol Hatwar 20 Jun '02

20 Jun '02

I wants >to Telnet the Linux machine, but it shows me an error >The remote host refused connection. *snip* This happens when the telnet server or the ftp server (server as in software) are not running. First see if telnetd and your ftp daemons are properly configured and running. You can use 'ntsysv' as root to see if they are started at run-time. You can also use: "/etc/rc.d/init.d/*name_of_daemon* status" to verify.

debian users
by Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe 18 Jun '02

Hi, I have been using Debian unstable on my machine for the more than a year now ... Are there other Debian users out there on the list?? I need to come up with arguments to atleast try out Debian instead of RedHat. I use it for the sheer ease of upgrades and stability. But I need arguments strong enough to convince sysads and end-users alike to try it out, and to justify setting up a Debian mirror. In fact, Debian is not too popular here in the IIT ... I posted a problem on the local newsgroups, and imagine, not a single reply!!!

Debian users

Been using Debian unstable since last October. For development it is The Distro. It has ports to most (all the ones that i know of) CPUs, which is vital for embedded stuff. It has a sane dependency & package managment policy. It has the largest number of packages. It is the esasiest to upgrade and maintain (particularly with a fat net connection. Commercial distros try to create a "typical user" cd. A typicla developer environment is anything but typical. Further there will be no nasty suprises in the gcc or per seat licences or some other desperate manuover to stay alive. Debian has a life and world all it's own and will be around long after the commercial distros. So for the technically savy it is the distro to use. rgds jtdesouza(a)yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
