I just checked /var/log/secure (thanks, Mark) and noticed this: xinetd[14216]: FAIL: telnet service_limit What is the default limit on RHEL 4? I'm not expecting any more than 200 or so connections. I guess I need to set that "instances = unlimited" option (thanks, Jack). Thank you all for your help!

I'd want to look at the logs on the host, both messages and secure. mark -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
