Logging in to the NetWare console from UnixWare

You login to the NetWare console from UnixWare using the telnet(1tcp) command.

If the appropriate protocol for the initiation method you choose is not bound to an interface card on the NetWare server, the connection is refused by the server.

Before beginning, make sure that your UnixWare system is configured for TCP/IP, and that the name and IP address of the NetWare server is available either through the /etc/hosts file, Network Information Service (NIS), or the Domain Name Service (DNS).

1. Log in to UnixWare using a character-based terminal, the system console, an X terminal, or some other terminal capable of emulating an X terminal or a VT100/VT220 style terminal.

2. If you are using an X terminal and want to use an X terminal session (rather than a VT100 session), enter:
   
   xhost +server-name

   where server-name is the name of the NetWare server whose console you want to access. Alternatively, you can enter:
   
   xhost +

   with no server name to disable access control and let any server communicate with your X terminal.

3. At the shell prompt, enter:
   
   telnet servername

   where servername is the name of the NetWare server. The following shows a typical system response:

   Trying xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx...
   Connected to server.company.com.
   Escape character is `^]'.
   Password:
   

4. Enter the password you specified when you loaded the REMOTE module. The system responds with:

   0 - X11
   1 - VT100/VT220/Compatible
    Help is Ctrl-? or Ctrl-w
    Exit is Ctrl-x
   Enter[0]:
   

5. Choose one of the terminal types by pressing 0 or 1, depending on the type of terminal or window from which you are logging in to the server. The system now displays the current contents of the NetWare server console.

Press <Ctrl>x to log out and end your console session.
