telnet problem

R.Suresh — Wed, 20 Sep 2000 03:22:30 GMT

Dear all,

I am having a HP9000 Server,

I am not able to do telnet to that from
any machine.

It says

"Connection to the host lost"

I am able to ping to host.

Any Help?

Thanks
R.Suresh.

1. make sure that "/usr/sbin/inetd -l" is running if not then restart by running from root "/sbin/init.d/inetd start"
2. Check and make sure that the below line is not commented out in "/etc/inetd.conf"
"telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/telnetd telnetd -b/etc/issue"
If commented out then uncomment it and restart inted with "-c" option.

Look for inetd in "/etc/rc.log" log file for any failures.
Also do a man on "inetd" & "telnetd" for further information.

Hi,

Check /var/adm/inetd.sec

This file contains ip addresses or ranges that are (not) allowed to connect to this or that port on your machine.

Bye,
Rik.

Have you configured telnet in /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/services ?

Is port 23/tcp free for use with telnet ?

If so, could you send us some more information. Probably something in the log files.

I am having the same problem with a 9000 d-class. I have tried all of the above and it still doesn't work.

Have you found a resolution yet?

Any help would be appreciated.

Interestingly I am having the same problem on our D-Class.
I almost did everthing (except applying patches). It did not work out. We did not change or install anything. This problem appeared suddenly. I can manage now since we can access to th Oracle DB by SQL*Plus.
I hope you solved your problem.
