Re: [expert] telnet/ssh problems

[Stephen F. Bosch]

Hi, Peter:

Well, I see you don't have an entry to ssh in /etc/inetd.conf; You have
telnet, but I am curious - do you have the telnet daemon installed? On
most installs it is not installed by default. I had to install telnetd
on all the Mandrake machines I've put together.

My sshd line in /etc/inetd.conf looks like this:

ssh     stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd 
/usr/local/sbin/sshd -i

The -i tells sshd that inetd wrapping packets.

So, in order:

See if you have telnetd installed;
Add the above line to /etc/inetd.conf and do a SIGHUP (killall -HUP
[inetd's pid]).
