I've gotten telnetd to run on the box and I'd now like to have inetd spawn telnetd when there's a connection. I've installed inetd in /usr/sbin/inetd and have created /etc/inetd.conf, /etc/services, /etc/protocols, and /etc/nsswitch.conf but I can't get it to work. When I try to telnet into the box I get the following output: dixon@rowling:~$ telnet 172.16.1.159 Trying 172.16.1.159... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused I start telnetd on the host with the following command: # /usr/sbin/inetd -d ADD : discard proto=tcp, wait.max=0.40, user.group=root.(null) builtin=10014530 server=internal ADD : discard proto=udp, wait.max=0.40, user.group=root.(null) builtin=10014540 server=internal ADD : daytime proto=tcp, wait.max=0.40, user.group=root.(null) builtin=10014570 server=internal ADD : time proto=tcp, wait.max=0.40, user.group=root.(null) builtin=10014550 server=internal ADD : telnet proto=tcp, wait.max=0.40, user.group=root.root builtin=0 server=/usr/sbin/telnetd ADD : smtp proto=tcp, wait.max=0.40, user.group=mail.(null) builtin=0 server=/usr/sbin/exim what I don't see is the: someone wants telnet accept, ctrl 3 1876 execl /usr/sbin/in.telnetd that you'd expect. Any ideas on what's going on? Thanks, Andy P.S. Please cc me on replies. -- Andrew Dixon Software Engineer Seranoa Networks 978.897.3434 x231 ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
