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

Telnet out has "nothing" to do with your machine; it's the other machines that determine if you can telnet them or not. And, in your case, I guess that you have either (a) not started inetd or (b) telnet is commented out in /etc/inetd.conf (or both). So, as root, after checking /etc/inetd.conf, issue rcinetd restart. Try it again. Don't forget to make inetd start automatically on boot (/etc/rc.config and re-run SuSEconfig or do it through YaST) Hope it helps, Alvaro Novo SuSE 7.1 -=- Kernel 2.4.2-4GB -=- KDE 2.1.1 11:57pm up 2 days, 4:34, 4 users, load average: 0.00, 0.33, 0.64
Hello! I had this problem too. I corrected this by adding the hosts into /etc/hosts on the telnet server (actually each machine on my network): 123.456.789.0 box1.domain.ext box1 123.456.789.1 box2.domain.ext box2 ... Hope it helps. Ju. On Tuesday 29 May 2001 06:53, w7ntf@aol.com wrote:
