- Hi,
- I installed the tcp/ip package and it compiled without errors.
- I then increased the number of pty's to 64 and mknod'ed all of them,
- under the assumption that each telnet in used up one (is this right?).
- I then rebooted.
- I can now ftp out of the system perfectly, it works great and
- since that was the main use, I am very happy (congrats to all
- concerned). :-) :-) :-)
- However, if I ftp in I hang. Also telnetting out connects to
- the host and then locks up the keys at the password prompt. you can
- however send a ctrl-d to end the login attempt (if it's a unix box) or
- a ctrl-z for a vax, strange.
- for telnetting in the same kind of problems are encountered.
- if you telnet in to an account that has no passwd (horrible securety,
- i know) it works fine. but if you try one that has a password it locks
- up on the password prompt.
- last few points. perhaps they are relevant. telneting out is
- very stacatto get packets then nothing then packet. and after telneting
- in when you log out it does not remove the name from the active users
- list.
- If all of these questions have allready been answered, if
- you could let me know where I can find the answers I'd appreciate it.
