On a LAN, how can I "telnet" from one Pup to anoth

#1 Post by spark »

I have searched most of the posts regarding this subject, but I have not found an answer. On an isolated LAN, I would simply like to "telnet" from one Puppy to another Puppy. I can telnet from Puppy to other OSs, but I cannot telnet to Puppy.

The error I get is a familiar one:

telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

or

ssh: connect to host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port 22: Connection refused

When I have gotten this error in the past it usually meant that the telnet service had been disabled for security reasons. Using "chkconfig" on other Linux flavors allows one to check, turn on, or turn off a partcular service. The chkconfig utility does not seem to be available in Puppy.

How can I login into one Puppy from another Puppy?

Puppy does not have the telnet or ssh daemons.

There is a sshd dotpup http://www.murga.org/~puppy/viewtopic.p ... shd+dotpup. Just install it and run it. If you want to start the shh daemon and boot time, add the command to the /etc/rc.d/rc.local script.
