Can you get at telnet from the outside world? If not... First check to see if telnet is enabled. In /etc/inetd.conf near the top, you'll see a line that looks like telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.telnetd Make sure it's uncommented (i.e. it doesn't have a '#' in front of it.) If it was commented and you have to uncomment it, then do rcinetd restart as root to enable it. If that's as it should be, then as root, type the command lsof -i and see if you see a line that looks like inetd 3086 root 6u IPv4 7449 TCP *:telnet (LISTEN) then that means that telnet is running, and something funky is going on, and I'll try to think of more ideas if that's the case. I'll assume you know how good an idea it is to disable telnet connections from the outside world, so I won't go there. :) -tara On Fri, Jun 02, 2000 at 05:00:59PM -0400, Jim Bruer wrote:
After upgrading from 6.3 to 6.4 I can no longer telnet to my server from from my internal network. Firewall is turned off. I'm masquerading on a SDSL link and have no problem with internet access. Any Ideas
