I cannot telnet to my own machine, presumably because no telnet daemon |
| 2 |
is running. |
| 3 |
I emerged net-misc/netkit-telnetd which contains a |
| 4 |
/usr/sbin/in.telnetd -> telnetd |
| 5 |
and man 8 telnetd refers to inetd & services. services also refers to inetd, |
| 6 |
specifically inetd.conf(5) and inetd(8), neither of which is present. |

eix shows only a replacement for inetd, which leads me to suspect that |
| 9 |
inetd is intrinsic, |
| 10 |
but if so, why no sbin/inetd, and why no man page? |
| 11 |
# eix inetd |
| 12 |
sys-apps/xinetd |

I've searched around and found numerous related documentation, however |
| 18 |
they are all for more complicated situations, I just can't see how to |
| 19 |
start in.telnetd, which should be blindlingly simple. |

All this is so I can telnet/ftp from a Windows machine in the next |
| 22 |
room, so I don't have to go for a walk to look something up. It also |
| 23 |
means I can have all my documentation on my gentoo machine, rather |
| 24 |
than having a copy on the Windows machine for convenience. |
