Hello,

I just finished doing a clean expert install of 7.2. During the install I 
selected the extra packages of ssh-server and telnet-server. After the 
install I upgraded all my packages. Other than that, I have installed XFree 
4.02, a new freetype, and the Nvidia drivers. Everything else is completely 
stock.

Everything seems to be working right except for a couple of things. I went to 
add Telnet as a service to start at startup and it wasn't listed. Thinking 
that was odd I went into webmin to get it going in there - it wasn't listed 
in there either. I double-checked my rpm database and server WAS listed. So I 
dropped to a command prompt and tried to execute /usr/sbin/in.telnetd and I 
get the error message: getpeername: Socket operation on non-socket.

I then tried to start my Seti client. It came back with the following 
messages:

Getting data - connecting to server.
gethostbyname: No such file or directory

I think it is safe to assume that the problems with getpeername and 
gethostbyname are related. However I have no idea how to resolve it. I know 
that getpeername is a system call as well as a Perl command. Perl seems to be 
correctly installed and I have no idea what rpm system calls are located in.

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

-Chris
