Strange. Which flavour of SCO? uname -X will tell you. What's in the /etc/shadow file for the user ID you are using?

Annihilannic.

 

[droguer03]

My version is Sco 5.05 and the content of
etc/shadow is

Server /etc/>cat shadow

And what is the user you are using, and does he have a password or not?

[droguer03]

the problem is
with any user who try to login
into the system from a telnet sesion

 

[fredericofonseca]

What happens if you go to the console, login as normal, and then do a "telnet localhost".

Does it work or not?

And just for be sure, do you have a Cisco router on your network?

after i login as normal in the server, and then try to do a telnet localhost, doesn't work

and

yes, i have a router cisco on my net.

 

[fredericofonseca]

When you say "doesn't work" is it issuing the same message or just not working.

Also what is the output of
ifconfig -a
and
/etc/hosts


Can you create a temporary network,
SCO machine, one HUB, one PC, and try like that please?


And just for your info, the message you are receiving is a standard one from Cisco Routers
This is the "virgin" state of a Cisco Router - in the absence of any configuration, this is how it behaves when you try to telnet to the route.

Frederico Fonseca:

thank you very much for all your help, i allready found the problem,

the situation was that appears an ip address duplicated out of my building, but something strange still happen, when i found the switch which contain the pc with the problem, it was unpluged, and then try to find out personaly which of the pc's has the duplicated address. My surprise was that all of the Pc's don't have the ip address duplicated, and i still continue seeing alive the ip address duplicated, so until i reboot the switch the problem disappear.

i was thinking in a virus, but i'm not sure, i still monitoring my network and i hope to find the problem early.
