I was able to reproduce the password prompt problem using tcpserver instead of inetd. So it seems to be caused by a change in telnetd between inetutils-1.9.1 and inetutils-1.9.4. As for the "Bad address" problem with inetd: I also had it with the newer inetutils-1.9.4 inetd and a service handled by a shell script: 19433 stream tcp4 nowait root /root/bandwidth 19434 stream tcp4 nowait root /root/bandwidth_nec The service at port 19433 works fine while the service at port 19434 fails with "inetd[3947]: cannot execute /root/bandwidth_nec: Bad address". The shell scripts /root/bandwidth and /root/bandwidth_nec are only slightly different. Migrating to tcpserver solved this problem. Maybe the update to glibc-2.23 has caused inetd to become unstable, crashing randomly? cu, brunni -- ++ Michael Brunnbauer ++ netEstate GmbH ++ Geisenhausener Straße 11a ++ 81379 München ++ Tel +49 89 32 19 77 80 ++ Fax +49 89 32 19 77 89 ++ E-Mail [email protected] ++ http://www.netestate.de/ ++ ++ Sitz: München, HRB Nr.142452 (Handelsregister B München) ++ USt-IdNr.
