That's not true. telnetd, when started from inted, typically uses the port number for the telnet service entry as set in /etc/services. So you can change it that way. The -debug option also permits you to setup a separate port, although that isn't really useful, here. In /etc/services you'll find: telnet 23/tcp telnet 23/udp change them to, say, telnet 24/tcp telnet 24/udp and restart inetd (kill -HUP <pid of inetd>). The telnet daemon should now be accepting connections on port 24. True, now it makes telneting to the shell require a bit more typing, but if that's too much work, don't bother running a Mud... -dak +------------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | +------------------------------------------------------------+
