remote shell

I am desperate to try to get a remote shell from an embedded system using
RTP.

I’ve got qnet and ttcp/ip running.

I’ve tried the “on” command but I’ve been told that it doesn’t support
remote spanning yet… now I’m trying to get a telnet server to run and I’m
having problems.

I run inetd with telnetd enabled… but when I try to telnet in I get an
“All network ports in use” error.

Any help with the telnet problem or any other suggestions on how I can get a
remote shell are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dan

You also need to run devc-pty when using telnetd.

Thanks Ron… that got me a little closer…

After I loaded devc-pty and inetd, I set up a user account to login to. But
now when I try to telnet into my stack it gives me an error on the client
side of “loginConnection closed by foreign host.”.

I’ve tried running inetd in debug mode but it doesn’t give any errors on
that side.

I don’t know what else to do… the telnet setup line in my inetd.conf
file looks like this:
telnet stream tcp nowait root /sbin/telnetd in.telnetd -Q

and telnetd is in /sbin . Should the protocol used in this line be ttcp?

Any help on this is greatly appreciated… I feel like I’m sooooo close to
getting a remote shell.

Thanks,
Dan
