O' collective brain,
I have an old machine at home that I did a server install on (mandrake 7.1)
and it seems pretty secure. Nmapping the box from my home network (there is
not outside connectivity) reveals *no* UDP or TCP ports open. And here is
the problem. I want to telnet into the box with my other machine on the
network but the connection is obviously refused. I have played around with
the settings in the /etc/host* files to no avail. Are there any references
that you can recommend online/book form that will give me a better idea
about Linux security possibly with networking for someone that is pretty new
to the concept?
And any idea how I can let a particular host on my network connect, but
limiting it possiby to just being able to see an open telnet port?
Thanks
Will.
