Hello, This is probably something really stupid on my part but I can't get telnet to work... I am using it on HP Vectra that has a damaged keyboard plug (therefore I can not type on the machine). So I decided to try running Linux from a floppy using telnetd to be able to format the HD. But telnet does not seem to work: [root@CR466015-A tomsrtbt-1.7.205]# telnet 192.168.0.10 Trying 192.168.0.10... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused Ping seems to work. [root@CR466015-A tomsrtbt-1.7.205]# ping 192.168.0.10 PING 192.168.0.10 (192.168.0.10): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.168.0.10: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.8 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.0.10: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.6 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.0.10: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.7 ms --- 192.168.0.10 ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 0.6/0.7/0.8 ms I use the tomsrtbt-1.7.205 and the only modifications I made were in: rc.custom: cat>>inittab<<X c5:5:respawn:/usr/bin/nc -l -p 514 -e /usr/bin/rshd c6:5:respawn:/usr/bin/agetty -w -I 'ATE0Q1&D2&C1S0=1\015' 115200 ttyS1 c7:5:respawn:/usr/bin/nc -l -p 23 -e /usr/bin/telnetd X kill -HUP 1 and settings.s: DOMAIN=localhost IF_PORT=eth0 DNS_1=24.2.9.33 IPADDR=192.168.0.10 NETWORK=192.168.0.0 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 Any ideas on where to look ? Like I said, I can't use the keyboard on the remote machine so that kind of stops some debugging :( Thanx, Carlos
