Greetings:
I'm having a hard time with telnet on my debian woody box. Network is fine,
I can SSh to the box but I have a need to be able to turn on telnet when
necessary. I can't get it to work to save me. I use xinetd, and I have
telnet configured in it's .conf as follows:
service telnet
{
flags = NAMEINARGS
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = nobody
server = /usr/sbin/tcpd
server_args = /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
disable = no
}
I have verified the programs listed in xinetd.conf above are in the path. I
see an error in syslog that says:
in.telnetd[435]: connect from 10.10.10.30
telnetd[436]: /usr/lib/telnetlogin: Permission denied
I searched google and a post suggested a screwed up telnetlogin, so I tried
running it at the command prompt. No core dump as others had, mine just
logs in like it's supposed to.
The source telnet IP's are in /etc/hosts.allow, and not in .deny, just like
the ssh entries and again, ssh is working from the same source IP's.
I've fiddled with xinetd.conf and bounced it using kill -USR2 [pid]. I see
it reload in the syslog, no errors.
Can someone help me get telnet working? I don' tknow what else to try.
Thanks for the time to help,
Scott
