During my reinstalling of my mail server due to an unfortunate incident described in another thread I needed to use telnet in order to test the setup.
However, when I log in as root I get “command not found” when trying to use telnet.
How do I enable telnet? Or what do I need to install in order to get telnet?
Problem solved.
let me guess: ‘telenet’ doesn’t work, but ‘telnet’ does??
(been there, done that!) i fixed that forever in
/etc/bash.bashrc.local with:
alias telenet=‘telnet’

Bah… good riddance. If you really need something that can do telnet’s
job (plus a lot more) use netcat as I believe it also comes w/OpenSUSE by
default. It even has a behave-badly-like-telnet mode should you really
need it. In the meantime it does a MUCH better job of checking if an
application (meaning a TCP-based application) is working (meaning
listening) and is accessible:
netcat -zv ipAddressOfServer portNumHere
Good luck.
