What is causing the following messages from n 11i system on the same subnet when telneted to that system. recv: rlogin: connection closed by peer. This happens on all type of connections whether they be rlogin, rcp, ftp or remsh.

Hi,

I think the inetd service is not running on your system.

Please do following.

# /sbin/init.d/inetd stop
# /sbin/init.d/inetd start

You should be fine now. If still any problem, do following

#/sbin/init.d/net stop
#/sbin/init.d/net start

Thanks,

This error message generally results from a problem with the network. The connection on the network was broken for some period longer than a timeout set by the remote system. My first suggestion would be to check the patches. Apply all latest networking patches to the systems. If you are up to date with patches, then check if you have any networking issues.

Thanks, but the service is running. Justs for clarification. The timeouts happen on idle sessions as well and here is something interesting they last only 17 minutes. Does anyone if there were any known issues on the release of HPUX 11i upgrade kit for June?
