RE: [Perl-unix-users] Telnet to AIX

[Sullivan, Patrick]

Title: Telnet to AIX

Check your /etc/inetd.conf file - look for the telnet line, if it contains a "-a" after the telnetd (as follows):

telnet stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/sbin/telnetd telnetd -a

 

I know this causes some problems on AIX, I am not sure if this is yours but, remove the -a and refresh -s inetd   and try again.

 

Thank you,

Good Day All

I am experiencing some strange problems when I telnet to an AIX Unix box. I login Successful, but when I execute a unix call eg. ls -l it does not return any data. If someone knows how to solve this problem or got some advise please help

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

use Net::Telnet();

my $Servers    = qw|goblin|;
my $username   = qq|test|;
my $password   = qq|12345|;
my $timeout    = 30;

    my $t = new Net::Telnet( Timeout => $timeout, Prompt => '/[\w:\w:\w+]$/' );
    print qq|Open $Server\n|;
    $t->open ( qq|$Server| );
    print qq|Login $Server\n|;
    $t->login ( $username, $password );
    print qq|Done Login $Server\n|;
    foreach my $user ( sort @UserList )
    {
        chomp $user;
        my $hostname = $t->cmd ( qq|hostname| );
        print qq|Hostname: $hostname\n|;
        my (@forecast) = $t->cmd ( qq|ls -l| );
        print qq|@forecast\n|;
    }
