My SuSE Linux box with v6.4, kernel 2.2.16, developed a problem recently. I can no longer telnet in and get the following when I try: Trying 123.456.789.0... Connected to 123.456.789.0. Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host It has been working quite well for years, but now all of a sudden for no reason I can no longer get in. Interestingly, I can telnet out ok... and telnet to other applications running on the system... and I can FTP to my linux box ok, but no incoming telnet is allowed. Can someone tell me what to look at in order to restore my incoming telnet capability? I am at a loss as to why this suddenly changed without notice. Thanks for your help. Best regards, Gary
