I am having an issue with the telnet-server for Fedora 7. I set up 3
machines with F7 in the last week, and followed the same procedure
with all of them. I installed telnet-server with the following procedure:
yum install telnet-server
edited the appropriate xinetd.d file to turn on telnet
restarted xinetd
On the first two machines, telnet worked fine. On the last install I
did, I encountered a problem with the telnet-server. When I try to
telnet into this server, I get the following message:
Trying 192.168.2.72...
Connected to 192.168.2.72.
Escape character is '^]'.
getaddrinfo: localhost: Success
Name or service not known: Illegal seek
Connection closed by foreign host.
I have never seen this error before. It happens when I try to telnet
to the machine from itself, as well. What could cause this? I can't
seem to find much information about this problem.
I do know about ssh and use that as well (ssh works on this machine),
but I do need to have telnet working too.
Thanks!
Dan
