unable to telnet to port 6803

[Heiko_1]

While doing a telnet to the localhost there are no problems.

But trying to telnet to port 6803 we get the next messages.

Trying ......
Conected to localhost
Escape character is '^]`

en than it does nothing.

The port is in /etc/services
pfm-export 6803/tcp

anyone have any suggestions??

thnx in advance

Hi Heiko,

Is there a correct entry in /etc/inetd.conf for pfm-export? If so, have you run inetd -c to re-read the inetd.conf?

regards,

Darren.

The line in /etc/inetd.conf should look like the line in there for telnet, eg.

pfm-export stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/telnetd telnetd

and then do an inetd -c.

Hi,
but what is supposed to say that port ?
This is the real question...

Source Forge has one bug report on what I assume is your program:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=213650&group_id=753&atid=100753

Index page calls login.pl from incorrect location?
Should the "Log In" button invoke /cgi-bin/freepfm/login.pl the same way the "Register" button does, rather than /cgi-bin/login.pl ? I had to make this change to get things to work at home. Hopefully I'm not wasteing somebody's time by calling out problems that are not really problems due to my inexperience with apache, et. al.

Sounds like it would effect what happens when you telnet to that port.

Thnx all for your help,


seems like i misinturpreted some data i got from the customer,

I was expecting a login prompt, but later the customer told me that this 'hanging'was correct. Due to a program that was listening on that port.

Problems we have now, looks more an routing problem then a unix problem.

Sorry for wasting any of your time, but i must thank you again because i got some valuable information again about Unix.

Regards,

Heiko
