    Telnet allows users to log into a remote server and access it as if they were sitting at the local console. It uses the telnet command to log in remotely over a network connection. To configure telnet, the telnet-server, telnet-client, and xinetd packages must be installed. The telnet server software runs on the remote host and must be configured to accept connections from telnet clients. The client allows the user to connect to the telnet server and access it through a virtual terminal session. The documentation provides steps for configuring telnet on Red Hat systems.

    Telnet

    • Telnet is a program that allows users to log


    into your server and get a command prompt
    just as if they were logged into the VGA
    console.
    • Telnet server is used to login into another
    system.
    • It uses the telnet command to log in remotely
    to another system on the network.
    • The system can be local area network or
    available through an Internet connection.
    Telnet operates as if you were logging in to
    another system from a remote terminal.
    • It will be asked for a login name and
    password.
    • In effect, you are logging in to another
    account on another system.
    • In fact, if you have an account on another
    system, you could use Telnet to log in to it.
    • Three RPMs are required to configure telnet
    – xinetd
    – telnet-server
    – telnet-client
    Telnet Sever

    • Telnet server software is installed on remote


    host. You need to configure it before client can
    connect with it.
    Telnet Client

    • Telnet client software allows you to connect


    telnet server. Once telnet client establishes a
    connection to the remote host, client
    becomes a virtual terminal, allowing you to
    communicate with the remote host from your
    computer
    Configuring Telnet in redhat

    • 1.Install telnet packages


    – # rpm –qa telnet-server
    • 2.Once you have the packages installed, check
    the /etc/xinetd.d/telnet file
    – # vi /etc/xinetd.d/telnet
    • 3.ensure that disable = yes is changed to read
    disable = no
    • 4.Turn the Telnet server on using the chkconfig
    command.
    – # chkconfig --list telnet
    – telnet off
    – # chkconfig telnet on
    • 5.You will need to restart the xinetd service
    – # service xinetd restart
    • 6.root user is not allowed to login from telnet.
    We need to create a normal user account.
    – # useradd testuser
    – #passwd testuser
    • 7.To connect with telnet server we need
    specify server IP address which you can check
    with ifconfig command.
    – You should test telnet configuration before
    connecting from client computer.
    • 7.To terminate telnet session logout from
    logged in user.
    – #exit
    Disadvantages of Telnet
    • Telnet by default does not encrypt any data sent
    over the connection.
    • Anyone who has access to network device located
    on the network between the two hosts like router,
    switch, hub or gateway where Telnet is being used
    can intercept the packets passing by and obtain
    login, password and whatever else is typed with a
    packet sniffer software.
    • Telnet protocol have no implementations that
    would ensure that communication is carried out
    between the two hosts is not intercepted in the
    middle
