Here's the line from netstat: tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:23 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 419/inetd I don't have lsof as a command. Was that a typo or an addon? The netstat printout makes sense as I know that inetd can see incoming packets and thinks they are for telnet, but cann't successfully start in.telnetd. (an aside to Asheesh, yes I have the telnet server installed. That's where in.telnetd comes from.)

A combination of these two methods should tell you whether or not something else is trying to run on port 23, tho I sincerely doubt anyone would stomp all over a well known port reservation like that.... -- Matthew Micene Systems Development Manager Express Search Inc. www.ExpressSearch.com ____________________________ A host is a host from coast to coast, and no one will talk to a host too close Unless the host that isn't close is busy, hung or dead
