When trying to telnet into a Debian GNU/Linux system I set up, I get the following:
sally# telnet ross Trying x.y.z.193... Connected to ross. Escape character is '^]'. <there is a 10-15 second pause here.... then> Connection closed by foreign host. sally# This system is pretty much a default installation. I don't remember having done anything to refuse connections - at least not intentionally. The only way for me to administrate this system is remotely.... The system is locked in a tiny room about 30 miles away from my office. Any ideas on why this might be happening? What I should check? Obviously, I'm going to have to go onsite to fix it and I'd like to have a pretty good idea on what to look for before I get there.
