Mac OS X remote login from a PC

[ghyde]

I hate to say this, but that hasn't worked either.

Any other suggestions / ideas that might help?

It is not recommended now that we have SSH but if this is just for your LAN you can do the following:

sudo /etc/inetd.conf

uncoment #telnet to telnet.

Now restart inetd.

To restart inetd first find it's PID and then sudo kill PID.

To find the PID run this line:

ps ax | grep "inetd" | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1, $5}'

than type

sudo inetd

That's it.

By the way in case you don't know anything that you send/receive accross telnet it is plain text.

good luck
