Hi Nagaraju,

Check if you have the telnet deamon running:

#ps -fu root|grep telnet

Best Regards,

telnet login.

Check also this deamon:

#ps -fu root|grep /usr/sbin/inetd

You must have this process running!

Can you log in on the console using the same user name and password? FTP will not use the user's profile, telnet will. If you have a problem in the user's profile or the system wide profile it can prevent you logging in. If you can log in on the console, then the profile is probably OK. Can you rlogin?

Hi Nagaraju

add tty1 to /etc/securetty and try again.

Post the result

be aware that it isn't the right solution, better is using of ssh

What is the message you got while trying to login with telnet? Did you get login messages ? or only blank window?

If you are getting blank window then telnet login from your ip-address is blocked with inetd.sec or tcp wrappers.

If you are getting login messages like,
Login:
passwd:
then /etc/securetty file or pam.conf is containing blocking informations or /etc/profile contains script to block your login.

HTH.
