Re: Telnet connection fails

[Billy Davis]

Trevor:   /etc/xinetd.conf is a VERY short file and contains NO reference to telnet, other than an 'includedir /etc/xinetd.d' statement.  Within /etc/xinetd.d, there IS a telnet file and it contains 'disable = no'   Does that help?   Thanks, Billy     ----- Original Message ----- From: Trevor To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 17, 2002 3:03 PM Subject: RE: Telnet connection fails Check the /etc/xinetd.conf file.  Is telnet there?   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Billy Davis Sent: Wednesday, April 17, 2002 12:49 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Telnet connection fails We have an RH7.2 Server on the same network with a Win2K Client and an SCO Server.  All 3 systems can be successfully pinged from the other systems.  However, when we try to telnet to the RedHat box from the Win2K Client, we get this message:       Could not open a connection to host: Connect failed   When we try to telnet to the RedHat box from the SCO box, we get this message:       Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused   When we try to telnet to the SCO box from the RedHat box, we get a successful login.   We used serviceconf on the RedHat box to enable the telnet server and then rebooted the RedHat box.  However, we notice with the ps -d command, that telnetd is NOT running.   Both hosts.allow and hosts.deny are empty.   What have we missed?   Thanks
