Cannot connect to registrar - 1

[SuperDome_1]

Hi.. Atlough telnetd is running, I can't telnet to an HP-UX 11.11 system. ( I can login via the command console using the MP Login on this RP8400 system though) and existing telnet sessions are still alive. There's nothing is the syslog or the /etc/rc.log to indicate why I can't telnet in. But a message "Cannot connect to registrar - 1" occurs in the syslog. I'd like to know what that means, and if it's related to not being able to telnet in..

Thx

HI Saty,

registrar service is for EMS subsystem. That error does not correspond to your inability to telnet to the box.

Is your inetd running?. If so, do a netstat -an and see if any of the tcp ports are active. If so, then run "inetd -b" three times in succession and see if you can be able to get in. If so, there is patch to fix this issue.

If none of the above fixed, then look at /var/adm/inetd.sec and see if someone have introduced any rules in there to restrict the access.

Verify it using "telnet localhost" from withing the system.
