Telnetd

Dear all,

I’m quite new to QNX and unix in general.

I have two QNX 6.1 boxes, and would like to telent from one to another. All
the lines of inetd.conf seem to be all right, but the connection is refused,
same applies to rsh and rlogin.

I have also tried to create both /etc/hosts.equiv and ~/.hosts files with
the proper entries, but they don’t seem to help.

If I start telnetd manually, as “telnetd -debug” the connection is no longer
refused, and I can login remotely.

Can anyone tell me why ?

Thanks very much in advance for any help,

Andrea Borsic.

Make sure inetd is running.

It’s also useful to run inetd with the -d option in a shell. That way you
can see the connect requests etc. as they come in (and which service
handlers are dispatched).

Inetd was just not running.
