- Well, I just downloaded the net-bin-0.2.tar.Z from sunsite, and
- I'm unable to get most of the programs to work at all.
- tftp/tftpd seem to work, and I haven't tried the new ns* utils
- or the new named/inetd (Could this be the problem? Do I need a
- new inetd?).
- - talk exits immediately upon invocation leaving a 'ntalkd' process
- hanging in a state of something like udp_recvfrom. I have to kill
- the ntalkd manually as root.
-
- - rlogin gives rcmd: socket: Permission denied and exits.
-
- - rsh either gives Permission denied or leaves an rshd hanging
- in a state like ipproto_c.
-
- - rcp gives Permission denied.
-
- - ping gives ping: unknown protocol icmp.
-
- I suspect ftpd would work, except that I'm using shadow passwords.
-
- Possibilities to discount:
- I have /usr/etc/inet/services and /usr/etc/inet/inetd.conf set up
- as suggested.
- rcp and rsh are mode 4755.
- I do in fact have TCP/IP compiled into the kernel.
- I do have inetd/named running.
-
- Also, I posted earlier about some major problems I was having with
- telnetd - these problems are still as active as ever. I'll describe
- them again briefly:
- After an apparently random number of telnets to my own machine,
- telnetd will either hang, but echo keystrokes normally, or it will
- echo ^M's instead of carriage returns, etc.
- A ps -lax shows telnetd hung in a state of tcp_read. The telnetd
- must be killed manually by root. The only way to get this to stop is
- to reboot, and then after a while the behavior starts again.
- I've gotten several confirmations of people having the same problem,
- people with and without ethernet cards.
-
- If anyone has any idea of how to fix any of these problems, please
- let me know. The most critical problem for me is telnetd's
- perpetual hanging in tcp_read. Help appreciated.
