Re: telnetd won't run

# lsof -i:23

Will show you whats listening (i.e. program name and PID)

Also check your /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny files in case they are denying acess.

Are you using some other authentication scheme (e.g. PAM) or some firewall settings (e.g. iptables/ipchains).

You should contact the mailing list for your distribution you are using as this list is specific to Fedora/Red hat based distros.

Txh for feedback. Guess you are right about everything! But I still don't know how to fix this. Who is listening on port 23, telnetd? If it is, why does it close all connections?

I tried: /etc/xinet.d/telnet restart didn't help
Checked structure of this file and it's same like some I found on web.
What can I try next?
