Hi,
I'm running Mdk 6.0 at home and 7.0 at work. I can telnet into the 7.0.
But I can't telnet into the 6.0.
(Before anyone suggests using ssh istead: I do use ssh exclusively at
work. I'm setting up a local network at home, not connected to the
internet, and I want to run the MI/X X server on a Mac. So telnet is
fine, AFAIKBIMBW.)
What happens is:
$ telnet localhost
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to prairie.grass.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
Same if I use the local network IP address.
I've watched in kpm to see what processes are actually starting (had to
set the update rate to 100ms), and in.telnetd does run, for about 2sec.
There's no problem with telnet from this guy to other locations on the
internet (except the security problem, of course).
Here's the files that I think are relevant:
/etc/inedt.conf has this line:
telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd
in.telnetd
/etc/hosts.allow has just one line:
ALL: ALL
/etc/hosts.deny is empty
After these changes, I did the following:
# killall -HUP inetd
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/inet restart
I even tried rebooting.
Then I try to telnet and get the message shown above. I'm stumped!
