So OS X has been giving me nothing but gried for the past week..... But, now that I got everything fixed with a friggen reinstall, terminal isn't working right. When I type in the telnet command it tells me the command doesn't exist. Which is funny since it existed before I reinstalled Jaguar (x.2.3)....
Any ideas? The only thing I've tried was deleting the two pref. files associated with terminal.... Not luck with that....
Thanks for the help!!!

If you type "/usr/bin/telnet" does that work? If so, the problem is your default PATH envioronment variable has changed.

Did you use any customization options when doing the installation. E.g., did you omit the BSD packages?
How about the other internet programs, e.g. /usr/bin/ftp, /usr/bin/ssh, /usr/bin/finger... ? Are they installed?

DOH! Forgot about that.... I didn't install BSD. That would be it. Thanks! /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
