Telnet as well as rsh have been disabled on NetMAX version 4.0x. We recommend that customers use ssh as a replacment. Its much more secure and nearly always a better alternative. We recommend PuTTY for use as a Windows client, as its free and reliable.

However, if you wish to enable telnet or rsh and are aware of the ramifications, follow these steps:

  1. For telnet, edit the file: /etc/xinetd.d/telnet
  2. For rsh, edit the file: /etc/xinet.d/rsh
  3. Change "disable = yes" to "disable = no"
  4. Restart xinet.d. This is most easily done by going to Services->FTP, and without changing anything, choose Store, then choose Commit.

Note that this change may get overwritten during future NetMAX updates. In that case, you will need to repeat this process after the update.
