Also, try to start inetd in logging mode, # inetd -l <BR /><BR />It should be helpful to nail down the issue further. /etc/pam.conf in my system is <BR /><BR />#ll /etc/pam.conf<BR />-r--r--r-- 1 root sys 1546 Feb 1 09:27 /etc/pam.conf<BR /><BR />zero byte could be an issue. <BR /><BR />-Arun Thu, 09 Mar 2006 01:19:14 GMT Arunvijai_4 2006-03-09T01:19:14Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/telnet-logins-not-working/m-p/3747452#M787128 My machine suddenly lost the telnet sessions. I am able to login in sigle user mode<BR />When checked found that pam.conf file was zero bytes. I think that is causing the trouble. What might be the reason? Any idea.<BR />Appreciate any inputs on this.
