A while back, I reported here that telnet server wasn't working. I got a couple of good suggestions, but they didn't work. Now I really need to have a telnet server working. I am running LM 6.0 and inetd. inetd.conf looks right and it appears to try to load in.telnetd when I try to connect via a telnet session. But the secure log shows that it was unable to load/execute /usr/sbin/in.telnetd. It's really there and has rwxr-xr-x permissions, which is correct. And that makes me assume that inetd is recognizing that there was an attempt to connect on tcp port 23 and did try to load in.telnetd correctly. Playing around, I found that I could load in.telnetd with the -debug 29 option and then connect successfully to a telnet session on tcp port 29. So (if my logic is correct) it appears that tcp port 23 is occupied by something. I cann't figure out what or how and my init.d scripts seem correct and I don't think I played with them at this level. Any suggestions to figure out what is loaded that would grab tcp port 23? I am not running portsentry or any other port monitoring software. I did install ncftpd for ftp and have the secure version of Apache running and have installed postfix(telnet was broke before postfix however). I installed a couple of other programs also, but nothing that I can think of that should grab tcp port 23 however. Thanks in advance, Lyle
