telnet issue!!

[Amit Manna_6]

HI,
I am doing a telnet from a HP Server to a Linux Server.
I am getting the following error:
telnetd: Failed to contact authentication daemon

Can any body help me out ..

Shalom Amit,

It worked prior today?

What is the pam configuration?

What has recently been changed ont he Linux server?

Has telnet been authorized to run in xinetd on the Linux server. ITs not done by default.

On Linux:
cd /etc/xinetd.d

find the telnet file

vi it.

change

disable = yes

to

disable = no

Restart the xinetd daemon.

service xinetd restart

Try again.

Good Day Amit ! ,

Check if telnet is disabled in linux side.


Check in /etc/xinet.d/telnet
---------------------
service telnet
{
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = yes
}

----------------------

Make disable = no.


Restart xinted # xinetd restart


Cheers,
Raj.
