Hi, I'm having difficult with telnet. I setup suse linux on my sun workstation and am able to telnet to other servers fine. When I try to telnet from other server to the linux box I get the login prompt and then enter the user/passwd and then get the error: Login incorrect I know the user and passwd are correct b/c I login on the console fine. I'm trying both root and a generic user. I've checked the following /etc/shells has the passwd path hosts.allow and hosts.deny look like: Hosts.allow # See tcpd(8) and hosts_access(5) for a description. #ALL EXCEPT in.fingerd, in.identd : ALL : spawn (safe_finger -l @%h 2>&1 | \ # /bin/mail -s "%d-%h %u" root) & I tried uncommenting - still "login incorrect" Also added the IP from which I was telneting - still "login incorrect" Hosts.deny # See tcpd(8) and hosts_access(5) for a description. http - rman : ALL EXCEPT LOCAL Tired commenting this - still "login incorrect" What else do I need to configure/change? Thanks Alex
Hi Do You have any change to use SSH? (There is a free SSH-client for windows too)? That is more secure, and as convinient to use as telnet... Jaska. On Thursday 25 July 2002 20:47, Zaleski, Alex wrote:

Hi there, Check out "man 5 hosts_access". Kind regards, Simon Zaleski, Alex wrote:

I tried uncommenting - still "login incorrect" Also added the IP from which I was telneting - still "login incorrect"

What else do I need to configure/change?

You get the login prompt so the problem isn't in hosts.allow or hosts.deny. "strace -f -p login_PID", where login_PID is the PID of the login process, may help to identify the problem. -- Alexandr.Malusek@imv.liu.se
