Greetings,
There were some threads on this list a while back about telnet which
may or may not be related to your problem (but probably is).
The problems I found relate to the Kerberos authentication attempts
- and, to put bluntly, these attempts righteously piss off emulators,
routers, and Solaris systems which expect vanilla telnet protocols...
the solution is to upgrade to at least:
telnet-client-krb5-1.2.2-15.1mdk.i586.rpm
and the problem went away for our systems.
The package
telnet-client-krb5-1.2.2-11.1mdk.i586.rpm
is honked; and should be upgraded in any case.
Try upgrading to the *2-15 RPM and let me know if it works; the
upgrade worked for us.
HTH,
DGO
