Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------
Telnet Server Install
yum install xinetd telnet-server
chkconfig xinetd on
chkconfig telnet on
service xinetd start
** Additionally, you must open port 23 in the firewall (iptables)
yum commands:
yum list xxxxxxx e.g. tnsclient-0.2.3
yum search xxxxxxx e.g. PalmPilot
yum install xxxxxx
yum groupinstall xxxxxxx
yum update xxxxxx
yum groupupdate xxxxxxx
yum update # Full System Update
# Daily, 4am update
/sbin/chkconfig --level 345 yum on; /sbin/service yum start
There is no separate yum service that runs on your system. The command
given above enables the control script /etc/rc.d/init.d/yum.
This control script activates the script /etc/cron.daily/yum.cron,
which causes the cron service to perform the system update automatically
at 4am each day.
