Hello

We have successfully set up Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES4 and we are
now trying to connect remote clients to connect to it.

The problems we are having are as follows:

a) TELNET
If we connect with telnet, we get the login prompt. We use any valid
login name & password combination (including root), we get the
response "Login incorrect" and then the login prompt repeats. How can
we allow remote telnet connections? We know telnet is strongly not
recommend because of security reasons. However, we still want o know what is
prevent the telnet connections. BTW, the telnet service is running and
the iptables services is not running.

b) SSH
If we connect with SSH, we can log in with "root". However, we can
not connect with any other account because it says "connection refused
by server". How can we allow other users to connect with SSH. We
have checked the sshd_conf file but do not know exactly what setting
would be causing this problem.

as for ssh

do the users have /home/~ dirs
