Thats the error I got before I installed the telnet daemon. I am not sure if you actually checked that the daemon is there - my system had all the correct inet enties and was enabled, but the daemon package itself had not been installed. The telnet client you are using is in a different package and is independent of the daemon (telnetd) so you need to check the daemon itself.

Had this problem on 7.0 and it's still the same on 7.1. Actually it's not a "problem" but a security feature. If you chose medium or above security on install (maybe even low I've never used it) telnet-server package doesn't get installed. This package contains the telnet deamon you need to telnet INTO your box. Once you install that one. poof it should work. The package is on the disk called telnet-server.x.mdk.rpm where the is the version number.

Re: [expert] Cannot Telnet - Message 2
Sorry... just realized that the inetd does have a line for telnet, or it wouldn't have "picked up the phone" But it would still be worthwhile to see what's in your /etc/inetd.conf file... -Stephen- Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.

Dear Support, I cannot telnet to my system. I have a rtl100a Compex card which seems to work fine (because I can telnet to another system on the network). If I try to telnet to this system from anywhere on the lan (including this system itself) I get: Trying 192.168.1.2 Connected to sunil.javasolutions.org Escape character is '^]' Connection closed by foreign host The suggestions received earlier were 1.scrapmetaldevil wrote: ummm...do you have the telnet daemon enabled? and if it is, are you telnet-ing to the port that is enable? Could also be a firewall problem. Go through linux conf...the message below generally means the server is not running or you've telnet-ed to the wrong port. Your info isn't very descriptive what you know is enabled. After installation I had to go through my linuxconf and enable it. If you are using a fire wall, make sure its not set on the port the server is set to. I'm not much of a console user...so I can't really help in that arena. 2.

(I mention this only because I haven't yet myself) pico /etc/pam.d/login Then find the line that says "securetty.so" (Usually the second line from the top.) Comment out this line from the beginning of: #auth Save and telnet.

Linux dosn't let you do that for security reasons.. login as another user and then su to root. Else, check the file /etc/services It has all the services that your machine has open.. If you have set the security level to highest in mandrake, then it'll disable telnet.. you can only get in by using SSH. Lemme know if you need help in setting up ssh.. its pretty straighforward! Else, if you have telnet uncommented in /etc/services, then do " /etc/rc.d/inid.d/inet status" and see if its running.. inet basically starts services mentioned in /etc/services.. if its not running then simply say "/etc/rc.d/init.d/inet start" and you should be ok ! --- None of these work. I have hunted the internet, mandrake archives, redhat support and several books. I have not even come across a similar problem listed. Please help. I am finding my development time being wasted.
