i am going insane trying to telnet into a tomsrtbt booted machine. it
seems like there were some complications, but i can't figure out what
the heck is going on and it is driving me crazy.
i un-commented the telnet and the HUP line in the rc.custom.gz file, and
that appeared to work. then, i try to telnet in from another machine.
it just hangs after this:
Connected to 192.168.1.10.
Escape character is '^]'.
digging through the FAQ, i find that i need some 'mode character' and
'set binary' settings for telnet. however, if i just run telnet, then
type 'mode character', it says i need to be connected before i can set
that. i try and connect, and then it hangs. damn. digging through
some really old list messages, i find reference to sticking these
options in a file (but it doesn't mention what file). i make a wild
guess and add this to my ~/.telnetrc:
192.168.1.10 mode character
set binary
this seems to be used, but it doesn't make any difference to the telnet
session, it still hangs in exactly the same place.
the machine i am trying to telnet FROM is a redhat-6.2 machine, and the
toms is tomsrtbt-1.7.259, which i think is as recent as it gets.
whats the deal here? i have looked up and read everything i can find as
i'm SURE this must be somethign obvious that i am missing, but nothing
seems to make any difference at all, it still hangs in the same place.
fwiw, i don't even seem to be able to do:
telnet 127.0.0.1 from the tomsrtbt machine directly. very, very weird.
it hangs with a line that reads something like:
localhost (127.0.0.1) 23 (telnet) open
also, escaping out and closing the session completely screws up the
telnetd process on the tomsrtbt machine, i need to restart it manually.
sigh. i'm so sure i have done this with an older version of tomsrtbt.
i CAN telnet from the tomsrtbt machine to another machine, the same
machine as i'm trying to telnet in from.
as always, any help would be enormously appreciated.
