telnetd

sycncs — Wed, 15 Jan 2003 09:55:31 GMT

Hi
When I do a "ps -ef |grep telnetd", nothing is running. When I do a "ps -ef |grep inetd", there is one process running.

Even if I restart my inetd, my telnetd is still not running. How do I rectify this problem?

Hi

you will not have all the time telnetd process running .

the inetd process is oper the telnetd process each time when you have a request for a telnet .

dont warry about this issue .

Hi,

Pls chk in /etc/inetd.conf the entry:
telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/telnetd telnetd

and in /etc/services:
telnet 23/tcp # Virtual Terminal Protocol

To reconfigure inetd daemon after any change execute "inetd -c"

Rgds.

If inted is running things should be ok.
Only when there is a telnet connection telnetd is spawned.
For each connection a telnetd process is started.

If you want to make sure that there is no problem just check with netstat if someone (in this case inetd) is listening on the telnet port:

$ netstat -an | grep "\.23 "
tcp 0 0 *.23 *.* LISTEN

(just learning)

So if you log in to the console telnetd would not have to run.

Thanks in advance.

Yes! Robert

The inetd receives request from the client through the specified port in the /etc/services file for telnet then the inetd executes the telnetd to process that request.
