telnet problem

2007-12-24 19:52:00

I am setting up an Ultra 5 running Solaris 7 Server
with the Recommended Patch pack for Solaris 7. I can
ftp into it, but when telnet to it, I got:

> telnet localhost
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection
refused

inetd is apparently running since I can ftp to it. I
have triple checked that the following are true:

> grep telnet /etc/services
telnet 23/tcp
> grep telnet /etc/inetd.conf
telnet stream tcp nowait root
/usr/sbin/in.telnetd in.telnetd

the command

netstat -a | grep LIST

showed ftp is listening, while telnet is not listening
at all.

I found out /usr/sbin/in.telnetd was created when I
installed the patches (while /usr/sbin/in.ftpd was
created at the default date of Oct 6, 1998), so I
copied in.telnetd from the Solaris 7 Server CD again.
But after restarting inetd, telnet still does not
listen.

tcp_wrapper was just compiled. It works with ftp and
finger.

I need to get this machine working as soon as
possible. Please help! Send email and I will
summarize to the list.

Thanks!

Sun
