Re: [cobalt-users] Telnet Problem

[Gordon <root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I can't imagine if that;s all you did that it would break telnet unless 
you are trying to telnet in on an address related to the domain name, even
then it shouldn't break it, dunno if i would recomment changing the
ownership of the site symlinks from root tho, it means the user can now
change it ;0

You didn't accidently do chown -R from above the home/admin directory did
you ? That could strip away admin's login priveleges...

If the web interface still works you could make a user and telnet in and
look around a bit....
