Not telneting

[Swats]

The user is geting the below error when trying to connect from one server to another

#:/appl/oracle/product/v101/network/admin[fasprd]>telnet
Trying...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

And is the below line affecting it..
#cat listener.ora
....
TRACE_LEVEL_fasprd = OFF
....

[OFC_EDM]

The listener.or has nothing to do with telnet....or so I think anyway :)

Telnet may be disabled on the host as most people turn that off these days.

Can you resolve the hostname via nslookup?
Can you ping the hostname?

Hi

As kevin said, listner.ora is nothing to do with telnet.

Check the following :

1) Ping by ip and hostname.
If pinging, no issue with connectivity and name resolution
If not, check thos connectivity ( linkloop )& name resolution ( nslookup )part

2) try to do rlogin,ssh or ftp to that box.
If session established, issue is only with telnet.
If not, issue with internet serverces itself.

Need to /etc/inetd.conf and inetd -c
Check the /var/adm/inetd.sec -- is there services restricted.

check the kernel paranmeter npty,nstrtel..

Best Regards,
Ramesh

Hi

As kevin & Ramesh said, listner.ora is not in a picture for telnet.

If it is pinging by ip means n/w connectivity ok.
If not, check for self ping & n/w connectivity.

also check status of telnet service

check the daemon is running or not
ps -eaf | grep inetd

check the following files

/etc/services

/etc/inetd.conf

/var/adm/inetd.sec

pls revert it
