Disabling reverse-lookups in in.telnetd

14 Mar 2001

      Hello,

  We've just installed Suse 7.1 Professional. Seems to work great, except
for one thing.
Our workstations get their IP-adresses from a DHCP server. When we telnet
in, the reverse lookup fails, and we get a single line:
telnetd: getnameinfo.
  then the connection is dropped.

  How can I disable the reverse lookups in the telnetd? Or is telnetd
standard run with the -U option? Where is this set?

  I hope someone can help me with this!

Thanks in advance,
  Hein Ragas
