Telnet not working 2

[dchristensen]

Some how my telnet server has become broken. I have double checked to see that the service is enabled in the xinet.d directory. When I restart xinetd, then try to do a "telnet localhost", I am still seeing the access denied message.

Is there a log file being created somewhere that I can look at to see what the problem might be?

Any help would really be appreciated!

Thanks!

I'm working on downloading and updating the kernel RPM's now. Didn't find the SMP rpm in the updates list, nor the telnetd RPM. I'll have to look for those.

HI,

Bit of advice on compiling kernel using RPM. Can you please refer to redhat doc on how to compile kernel using RPM package. It wont work if you just "rpm -Fvh kernel_package".

I compile from source, no experience from RPM.

I've not ever compiled the kernel in any fashion to this point so your advice is appreciated.

The two of you have been a lot of help today and I really appreciate your time, efforts and energies.

Thanks to you again!!

Messed up the kernel upgrade so rebuilt the server this morning. Up and running now and telnet/ftp are working fine.

Thanks again for all your help these past two days!!

Me thinks autoupdate works much better than up2date.
Just google for it.
