RE: Authentication failure when logging in by telnet

[KANODIA, ASHOK]

Most probably this line telnet          23/tcp would have been commented out in /etc/services file.   -Ashok [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ph: (718)752-5909 PGP public key available at: http://pgp.mit.edu   -----Original Message----- From: Ioannis Chazakis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, April 11, 2001 5:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Authentication failure when logging in by telnet Hi, Im having a problem with my linux box and would appreciate any help. To cut a long story short, when i telnet to the box i get the login and password prompt but authentication fails for all users. When I ftp to the box, authentiction succeeds for all users as it should. Any pointers to what may have caused this and how to fix it?   Regards   John
