Telnet problem

[moetech]

I can no longer telnet into my aix server. It has been working fine for years and after a reboot today, I can no longer telnet to it. I can ping it fine. I have no idea where to begin to try to fix this. I am not an aix admin.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the reply.

That tread doesn't apply to this problem. I can't telnet to this server from any machine. Its not a networking issue.

The output of the first command is to large to type here, but there is an error "LFTDD Software Program error" It appears 8 times. I have no idea what that means. When I reboot the server there is a message that comes up saying" The system resource controller is having socket problems, try configuring internet sockets"

That is probably why telnet is not working. However I have no clue on how to configure internet sockets on this aix box.

Try removing the active Network interface and redefining it again.
Still, the output from the above commands is NOT big and IS required.
Thanks

did you upgrade AIX ??? the error LFTDD - relates to a LOW FUCTION DISPLAY I seen this in an older systen 4.2/4.3 after a TSM upgrade it is related to a graphivs card it was fixed in a apar or ptf

How do I remove the active network interface and redefine it?

This is not an upgrade. It is aix 4.3.

Thanks for the help!

chdev -l en1 -a state='down'
chdev -l en1 -a state='detach'
rmdev -dl ent1

Then run "cfgmgr" and redefine it via "smit tcpip" ->minimum config.

Did you look in the /etc/inetd.conf file to see if somebody comment out the telnet line? If it is commented out, uncomment it and run "refresh -s inetd". If for some reason the refresh doesn't work right you can try "stopsrc -s inetd" "startsrc -s inetd".

Also check that /, /usr, /var file systems are not full.

When I do a df it says dev/hd4 is 100% used. Could this be the problem? If so, how can I delete some data from there?

 

[MoshiachNow]

moetech,

had you provided the result of "df" I have requested at the begiining - you would have your issue resolved by now.
Yes,"/" full 100% can WELL be the reason for your issue.

To find the top 10 largest files filling it up :

find / -xdev -size +2048 -ls|sort -rn +6|head -10

To extend the "/" by 200MB :

chfs -a size=+400000 /

things to look for:

there may be a large smit.log - always a good candidate for deletion - if there is no info in there you want to keep.

someone may have filled the / FS it by misspelling /dev/null - creating a huge /dev/nul regular file instead (pertains to any device name)

Also check for core dumps

find / -name core -print
