I have a Linux host at home connected via dial up. I cannot Telnet from the
office into it. I get Connection to host lost. I have set this up on a few
other hosts and it works fine.
Here is the uncommented lines of my inetd.conf
ftp        stream        tcp        nowait        root        /usr/sbin/tcpd        in.ftpd -l -a
telnet        stream tcp         nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd        in.telnetd
smtp stream tcp nowait qmaild /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env tcp-env
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
pop-3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd        ipop3d
auth stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/sbin/in.identd in.identd -l
-e -o
linuxconf stream tcp wait root /bin/linuxconf linuxconf --http
I am getting one error reported on start - up related to inetd;
inetd[912]: execv /usr/sbin/in.identd: No such file or directory
This looks like its from the auth line.
Otherwwise this host is working fine as a web server, ftp server. I just
can't figure out why Telnet is not working. I have no ipchains
(firewalling), nothing in my hosts.allow and hosts.deny files.
Any ideas.
Thanks.
