Hi,

By default the telnet service should be enabled after installation. What is the error message you are getting?

Is it connection refused?
Or
Stopping at flow controll off.

You can check it the telnet line is commented in /etc/inetd.conf. If it is commented then remove the comment and restart the inet daemon using

#inetd -c

HTH,

The name of the deamon is telnetd

Do
ps -ef | grep telnetd

This will help us know whether the deamon is running or not.

Chek for the below line in /etc/inetd.conf

telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/telnetd telnetd

Alo in /etc/services for the below line.

telnet 23/tcp # Virtual Terminal Protocol


If these lines are commented , then uncomment it do an #inetd -c .

thx,

Hi;

By default hp unix support telnet until an unless it is not blocked in ur internel firewall. Please check the following files

#cat /etc/services

if telnet is commented, uncomment it (remove # from telnet)
#cat /etc/inetd.conf

uncomment telnet if commented
#inetd -a
#cat /var/adm/inetd.sec

Hope this will help u to resolve ur issue..

cheers

Hi,

1. #cat /etc/inetd.conf
telnet stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/lbin/telnetd telnetd

The line above should not have been commented
If it is then uncomment it.

2. #cat /var/adm/inetd.sec

Check whether you have blocked telnet service here.

3. And now do
# /sbin/init.d/inted stop
# /sbin/init.d/inetd start

This Should help.
