Why are you using ssh to run telnet? ssh -l skull sever hould be enough to login into the remote machine and give you the command prompt. Your syntax is used to run a command on the remote machine which means you ran telnet on the server machine. Avi "S.Toms" wrote:
What would cause the following when making a connection with ssh. I run the following ssh -l <logon> <server> telnet
and after it asks for the password and makes the connection, it just displays a blank line rather then the prompt:
skull@localhost:~ > ssh -l skull server telnet skull@server's password: /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth: creating new authority file /home/skull/.Xauthority
ls ls Killed by signal 2. skull@localhost:~ >
