# ps aux | grep telnet
shows that telnetd is run from /mnt/us/usbnet/bin/busybox telnetd -F This means you need the `usbNetwork running to start the telnet daemon. It would be nice to hack so that telnetd auto starts. |

Alas as I wrote, I *do* have usbNetwork running and still no telnetd. Thanks supert, can I ask which version of the usbNetwork hack you run (mine is v0.30n on a Kindle 3 Wifi)?

If you can telnet from your PC then your telnetd is running. What do you get from Quote:
I am now trying to set up a script so telnetd runs on boot. |

I upgraded to usbnet 0.3 and it still works.
I managed to set up a script /etc/init.d/telnetd symlinked to /etc/rc5.d/S99telnetd to start dropbear and telnetd automatically without needing `usbnetwork. I think that, if you wanted to ssh over the ppp connection, you needn't mess with the proxy settings etc (as mentioned by OP) but rather compile a proxy tunneling software like corkscrew, or something.

Hi supert,
No telnetd process on the Kindle: Quote:

Thanks for kindly helping. [edit] Re-reading the usbnet hack documentation I found out that the telnet daemon is not started when networking only on the wifi interface (and not on the usb interface). So in my case the absence of telnetd worked as designed. Just have to start it manualy as above. Last edited by PoP; 03-13-2011 at 04:01 PM. |

I just made GNU screen running on Kindle. There are still some issues regarding term settings, but basically it works... Telnetd issue is also solved (without repetitive enabling of usbNetwork). I have just added this line to /etc/inittab Code:
tn:5:once:/mnt/us/usbnet/bin/busybox telnetd I really don't want to exploit free 3G connectivity for some bad intentions. But I do believe that ssh console traffic is far less consuming then intensive browsing... Anyway, I can confim it's working too... (after some hacking) |

It's very usefull for: - reattaching the disconnected session (when KindleTerm was closed) - multiple windows - horizontal split (e.g. two 66x26 character regions) - copy&paste - scrolling Before you run screen, make sure the terminal size (LINES x COLUMNS) is OK... Code:
stty size So I decided to set the correct size every time before running screen: Code:
stty rows 54 cols 66 screen -R Last edited by HarryT; 10-08-2013 at 11:51 AM. |

To make it clear... GNU screen is not a kindlet, just Linux CLI enhancer that can be used together with hawhill's KindleTerm. You can find source code here: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/screen/screen-4.0.3.tar.gz Ales |

I am confused... If you guys have:
ssh from the kindle to any server working and ssh from computer to kindle... Then you can put two and two together, very easily... I.e. ssh tunnel via kindle... Someone should correct me if I am wrong... |

Errm, tunnel for what exactly? If this is about misusing the 3G: nope, we don't encourage that. I'm not even sure if it would work, given that 3G should only allow access to dedicated proxy servers. I think the primary use case is to use ssh to access other machines via Wifi. Or to the kindle itself, as a slightly overcomplicated terminal emulator (hence my modification to use telnet to the kindle itself).

Is anyone using rsa keys to ssh from the kindle, to the server? I can't work out where to put the id_rsa.pub file.
edit: Still haven't worked out where to put the keys, but have got debian running in a chroot. This gives access to openssh-client, and so provides an (ugly) workaround. Last edited by jonj678; 06-07-2011 at 09:03 AM. |

The pub key won't help you to ssh from the kindle. For that you need a private key in a dropbear format. I used dropbearconvert (on another machine) to convert an openssh key.
From there stick it whereever you like and user dbclient -i /path/to/file host etc. |

or with other words: The ssh kindlet isn't prepared to use client keys. The solution is, as explained by kenchy, to run an ssh client on the Kindle command line, i.e. connect to your Kindle, then connect to another computer from the shell.
