unable to login using telnet
Hi,
I am using redhat linux 4.0, I have started the telnet services, and getting login prompt after entering correct username and password getting the error . login: Resource temporarily unavailable while getting initial credentials Login incorrect my login details are correct. even I have tried on that linux box telnet localhost 23 in that case also I am not able to login. service iptables is stopped, no security is configured. |
Have you looked at the telnet configuration file? It should be somewhere in the /etc directory I would think. I haven't used telnet in a long time since SSH is more secure.
|
Is the user able to log in locally on the machine?
Kind regards |

I am getting the login prompt for adding username and password. is any other configuration file needs to be configured for user. Regards Manoj |
Any pointers in the log files?

Hi,
Please confirm you have telnet-server rpm installed using: Code:
rpm -qa | grep -i "telnet-server" |
If you are connecting from a remote computer, it's possible the characters aren't transmitted correctly.
Try to connect locally and see if the problem persist, or use another client to connect. Kind regards |

You are connecting as a user, not as root, right?
Kind regards |

Modify the /etc/xinetd.d/eklogin file, and set the disable option to yes, then restart xinetd. Also, since you're using RHEL, you can call RedHat for support, since you're paying for it. |
