I also have this problem since one or two months: when I try to telnet to my win2k box from another host (or from the same machine) I have to wait approx. 1 min. before the login prompt displays (but I see "Trying", "Connected" and "Escape character is '^]'" immediately).
Launching "in.telnetd -debug" doens't work for me: it immediately asks to me username and password but no credentials are accepted (administrator, non-administrator, no user is accepted). On the contrary rlogin works properly (I always wait 5/6 seconds before the password prompt, but it works). Trying to better understand the problem I used File Monitor from sysinternals (www.sysinternals.com) a free tool that monitors access to file system by windows processes. All access made by telnet, telnetd, etc. seems to be ok, but I saw a suspect operation: process: System:1876 operation: IRP_MJ_CREATE file: \\.terminfo\IPC$ returncode: BAD NETWORK PATH other information: Attributes: N Options: OpenIf This operation is performed by System process every 3/4 seconds for several times. This does not happen for rlogin. Can anyone explation what does it means and if it can be correlated to our problem? ------------------------------------- Danilo Turina Alcatel Optics OND Network Management Rieti (Italy) - Phone: +39 746 600332 ------------------------------------- 1 anno 6 mesi 5 giorni 53 minuti 58 secondi -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
