I hope somebody out there might be able to help me with this issue.

Yesterday we had some Sendmail configuration problems, and we had to make
some changes to Sendmail related files only.  Over the course of a couple of
hours as we searched for the problem, we rebooted our servers several times.

Once we found the problem and fixed it, I found I was unable to to Telnet
into two of three systems.  I appeared to get a connection, and I would see
the "Escaper Character" prompt, but then the remote host would close the
session.

I did some debugging and checked the /var/log/messages file.  In the
messages file, I would see something along the lines of:

Connection failed due to error in Service Module.

However, if I used the telnet -a <hostname> switch, then the remote host
would hold the connection and I could eventually log in.

Debugging did not really seem to give me much to go on.

For the life of me, I do not know what the problem is.  Like I said, the
only changes we made were to the Sendmail files.  We did not touch anything
as far as Linux daemons or services were concerned.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jim
