telnet device drivers missing, rlogin working fine, unable to do telnet.

[Sanjay Shinde]

Hi All,
Remote server while trying to connect by telnet giving ERROR message :
-----
Trying...
Connected to hostA.xyz.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
telnetd: Telnet device drivers missing: No such device
Local flow control off
--------
it's HP L class server, OS HP-UX 11.0,

rlogin is working fine,
check /etc/initd.conf telnet entry is there,
/dev/telnetm character device file is there,

rebooted server, but no luck,
there are "no" FAILED in /etc/rc.log
Any idea ?

Thanks
Sanjay

This might be due to the "corrupted" telnet device files. Try to recreated them, see if it helps ..
# cd /
# rm /dev/pty/*
# rm /dev/pts/*
# insf -e
# cd /dev
# insf -d telm
# insf -d tels
