Weird Telnet Prpblem Error.

[someone_4]

I read the other post of the telnet problem.
And now I am having the same thing. But I did not add any patches.
All I get is this error.
Trying...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
telnetd: Telnet device drivers missing: No such device
Local flow control off
Connection closed by foreign host.
-------------------------------
I did insf -e .. and it still does not work.

Just to add. I can ping it .. and from this box i can telnet to another server. But I cant telnet back.

Well let me ask...did you enter the command while in /dev...try this:

cd /dev
insf -e -d pty

Just a thought,
/rcw

I guess that HP-Unix 11.00 :-) will rebuilding the kernel with the following parameters solve this error?


? npty 400
? nstrpty 400
? nstrtel 400



Hope this helps,

[someone_4]

well I added some params that were missing per HP.
vi /stand/system & add//modify the following kernel parameters as follows
npty 400
nstrpty 400
nstrtel 400
then
cd /stand
mk_kernel -s system
Now it works.

Cool, are you running on HP-Unix 11.00. ?

Bye

[someone_4]

yes I am 11.0
It looks like we posted at the same time.

This also works I got this from our develpment team. Im not sure what numbers this formala gives you.
nfile (16*(NPROC+16+MAXUSERS)/2+32+2*(NPTY+NSTRPTY+NSTRTEL))
nflocks 8192
ninode (((NPROC+16+MAXUSERS)+32+(2*NPTY))*2)
nproc (20+32*MAXUSERS)
nstrpty 400
num_tachyon_adapters 5
semmni 256
semmns 512
