Hello all, I am working on a custom setup and I am trying to figure out what the differences between the Login Services telnet - I see uses a telnet daemon to make the connection ping - pings the server that you want! rlogin - remote login but i do not know anything more than that. cleartcp - No clue what this is. Currently in my setup the one that seems to work the best is rlogin but I know nothing about this so I do no know if it is really working. What does cleartcp and rlogin actually do? I know this may be very neophite. I appreciate all the help! Brian ---------- UMPA Brian C.
