I have succesfully installed RedHat linux 6.2
But I am unable to telnet to my linux box ?The message i get is connection
refused by the host.I checked hosts.allow and deny and seems to be OK.
Is there anyway I can install the TCP wrappers alone separately on my m/c?
thanks
Tom

The reason might be that you try logging in as 'root' user. This is
disabled
for security reasons (and should stay disabled). Try to connect as a
normal
user. Always keep in mind that all passwords are transmitted without any
encryption! (that's why root access is insecure)
