    Setting up a telnet server

    All - Running Win2k Professional with SP3. I'd like to set up a telnet server on a box.

    If I use the telnet server admin tool in the control panel, I can start the service and connect from the localhost. However, when I try to connect from another machine, I get an error saying that it is trying to use NTLM authentication.

    Do I have to have a domain server running? Can I run a telnet server in a workgroup?

    Any ideas of what I might be doing wrong?

    Thanks,
    Mark

    NTLM only works from another win2k box (I think). You can go back into settings and change your NTLM value to 0... just remember passwords get transmitted in clear text. I would consider using ssh instead.

    Here are your potential values:

    2 - server will use only NTLM
    1 - server will first try NTLM, then cleartext
    0 - disables NTLM



    ------------
    Microsoft (R) Windows 2000 (TM) (Build 2195)
    Telnet Server Admin (Build 5.00.99201.1)

    Select one of the following options:


    0) Quit this application
    1) List the current users
    2) Terminate a user session ...
    3) Display / change registry settings ...
    4) Start the service
    5) Stop the service

    Type an option number [0 - 5] to select that option: 3


    Select one of the following options:

    0) Exit this menu
    1) AllowTrustedDomain
    2) AltKeyMapping
    3) DefaultDomain
    4) DefaultShell
    5) LoginScript
    6) MaxFailedLogins
    7) NTLM
    8) TelnetPort
    Type an option number [0 - 8] to select that option: 7
    Current value of NTLM = 2
    Do you want to change this value ? [y/n]y
    NTLM [ current value = 2; acceptable values 0, 1 or 2 ] :

    Thanks for the info. One more question. I noticed that Win2k Professional's standard telnet server only supports 1 connection at a time.

    Does the telnet server in Win2k Server support multiple connections, or, do I need to go to a third party package?

    Thanks,

    I think so. I just tried and was able to get two (2) before it started just rejecting me. Not sure if it rejected me for more than two connections or more than two connections from the same user.
