telnet daemon

I hope I haven't missed finding the answer to this post as I do not want to waste anyone's time.

Busy box documentation on the internet indicates telnetd is included but I cannot find it within slitaz 4.0 nor in the packages. I'd like to enable a very simple telnet server for headless access. I appreciate your help.

Thank you,

Allen

Run this command in terminal:   [c]busybox bbconfig | grep -i telnetd[/c]

Re: telnet daemon

Thank you mojo for your help. Your command results via Slitaz 4.0-base...

root@rmp571:~# busybox bbconfig | grep -i telnetd

# CONFIG_TELNETD is not set

# CONFIG_FEATURE_TELNETD_STANDALONE is not set

# CONFIG_FEATURE_TELNETD_INETD_WAIT is not set

root@rmp571:~#

Re: telnet daemon

Telnetd has been replaced by ssh which requires password and is encrypted. Dropbear is the ssh server provided by slitaz in all the isos. Login requires password and root login is disabled.

To start dropbear: /etc/init.d/dropbear start

Autostart on boot: /etc/rcS.conf RUN_DAEMONS="dropbear"

Reference: http://doc.slitaz.org/en:handbook:ssh

Re: telnet daemon

Once again thank you mojo for your prompt attention to my question/post. Dropbear daemon promptly started.. providing precisely the terminal access needed. Dropbear now autostarts during boot per rcS.conf. I should have paid closer attention to that section of the SliTaz handbook.

I marvel at how compact yet powerful SliTaz is. A similar base configuration using Ubuntu consumed 10 times more SSD space and 5 times more memory yet SliTaz boots lightening fast with many packages already installed. Excellent programming not to forget mentioning awesome technical support too!

BTW.. I sent an email to asso(at)slitaz.org on June 18th requesting info on subscription membership yet I still haven't received any information. Please advise if that email has been changed.

Again.. thank you,

Allen

@allen

What do you mean while talking "membership"?  Week ago i sent name@passwd to Slitaz founder, but there was troubles to correctly login to HG as new user. No any news since.

tank-server's ~ is avaliable for me, but no real applying for it.

are you tried this? http://scn.slitaz.org/index.cgi?signup

i didn't reg-ing here, but it's still interestingly for me, what gives signup on this page.

Re: telnet daemon

I apologize.. I should not have asked a question off the topic of the one posted. I was only inquiring as to whether the email address to become a subscription member has changed (I am willing to pay a yearly subscription fee). Please disregard my membership question as if it becomes necessary I will post a new topic regarding membership. I consider this topic of Telnet Daemon as resolved unless of course others have similar questions regarding SliTaz Telnet Server aka SSH Dropbear.

Again sorry...

Allen
