- Of late telnet on our sun is refusing connections. Rsh and rlogin also fail
- instantly. The problem is sporadic. Ftp and finger work.
-
- Rebooting fixes it. For a while. Sometimes sending a HUP to inetd fixes it.
-
- This sun gets NIS service from another machine. ypcat services | grep telnet
- reports the following:
-
- telnet 23/tcp
-
- which is identical to the corresponding line in /etc/services.
-
- In inetd.conf
- telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/etc/in.telnetd in.telnetd
-
-
- The sun is a SparcStation E currently running 4.0.3e
-
- Pointers as to what else I need to look at?
- Thanks
