[plug] getting telnet access

[Craig Reynolds]

I am trying to connect from windows machine, so I would not have thought
that was an issue.
I am connecting using putty and simply passing it the IP of the machine in
question.

Hello Craig

One common reason for getting the connection refused message is
attempting to telnet or ssh as a root user. Attempt your logins as a non
root user and su to root if that is the access level you require. If you
are root on another box then
telnet -l non_root_username.

Have fun.
