[Techtalk] Re: [Newchix] Installing and configuring Telnet Server: open a hole in your firewall to pass the telnet packets

I think the following might work:
(as root)

ipchains -I input -p all -s <telnet-terminal-ip-addr> -j ACCEPT

I'm not sure it will work, and if it doesn't, remove it by typing:

ipchains -D input 1

The first command tells ipchains to start accepting any packets coming 
from <telnet-addr>. It should work, but I'm really no expert on telnet. 



hope it works,
Eeva
