-
- Being able to telnet to port 25 has no bearing on whether telneting to
- the system to login will work. Check your /etc/inetd.conf file to see if
- the line for telnetd is there and not commented out. It should look something
- like this:
-
- telnet stream tcp nowait /etc/telnetd telnetd
-
- Make sure the link in /etc to /usr/etc/telnetd is there also.
-
- When telnet does not work, do you get "Connection refused" or does the
- connection open and close immediately? Connection refused means that
- nothing is listening on port 23, so inetd may be having problems or
- is not configured to handle telnet. If it opens and closes immediately,
- something is preventing telnetd from starting up a login.
