Tony: This is what I get... Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

Although I do have 7 MV DBMS platforms running on my system and none of them run on default ports. :) I did accidentally telnet to the wrong port, but then found the right port, oops, mea culpa. The issue is that it looks like anyone can generate a mysterious server desktop dialog simply by telnetting to the SSH port. That would have to annoy someone if it happens at the wrong time and you're not sure what caused it. Try it. If your default for Telnet is 23 and SSH is 22, just Telnet to port 22 and see what happens. T From: Bill Haskett G-Man: Is something listening on port 22? Bill From: Tony G This started out to be a bug report, but now I'm not sure if it's just a "don't do that" issue. Whenever I connect to my Unidata PE 7.2 over Windows via telnet, an unknown software exception error dialog would display on the _server_ desktop. I realized this was because I was telnetting onto the SSH port. OK, oops, don't do that. But I'd consider this a bug. Can someone else verify this behaviour and then report it to IBM through proper channels? ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
