As I said before I have up graded my system but not can not telnet into it from on the machine and off the machine. When I do telnet is gives you the normal telent hello :
bash# telnet localhost Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. but then says Connection closed by foreign host. I have checked both /etc/hosts.allow and hosts.deny and made them both empty. When I look in /var/log/daemon.log I see : Mar 6 02:14:37 rn120006 tcpd[615]: connect from unknown Mar 6 02:14:37 rn120006 tcpd[615]: warning: can't get client address: Socket op eration on non-socket It's this that I don't understand. Can anybody explain or give insight. Jason Killen Question Stupidity Monolith : driven by inner daemons RPS : better living through world [EMAIL PROTECTED] domination
