Hi all...

I am trying to login to remote server through telnet....

Code:
[vinay@localhost webhuddle]$ telnet 172.21.109.60
Trying 172.21.108.65...
Connected to 172.21.108.65.
Escape character is '^]'.

linux login: root
Password: 
You have new mail in /var/mail/root.
Last login: Tue Dec 15 04:13:08 from 172.17.70.143
linux:~ #
Is there any way to remove the blank line which is coming after Escape character is '^]'.

I commented line in /etc/issue.net
Code:
#Welcome to SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 (i586) - Kernel %r (%t).
Earlier I was getting this message also..Now i am not getting this message...This is fine..But how to remove the blank line after Escape character is '^]'.

Thanks in advance.....

Make sure there is no Carrier return at the beginning of

cannabis:/home/repo# telnet 127.0.0.1
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.

Thanks Centosboy for your reply....

I found \n at the end of line
Code:
linux:~ # od -tc /etc/issue.net 
0000000   #   W   e   l   c   o   m   e       t   o       S   U   S   E
0000020       L   I   N   U   X       E   n   t   e   r   p   r   i   s
0000040   e       S   e   r   v   e   r       9       (   i   5   8   6
0000060   )       -       K   e   r   n   e   l       %   r       (   %
0000100   t   )  \n
0000103
But i removed \n using

Code:
tr -d '\012'  < /etc/issue.net > test.txt
cp test.txt issue.net
Now \n got removed form end, But issue remains the same...

Whereas, it works when there is no # at the beggining of the line /etc/issues.net like
Code:
linux:~ # od -tc /etc/issue.net
0000000   W   e   l   c   o   m   e       t   o       S   U   S   E    
0000020   L   I   N   U   X       E   n   t   e   r   p   r   i   s   e
0000040       S   e   r   v   e   r       9       (   i   5   8   6   )
0000060       -       K   e   r   n   e   l       \   r       (   \   l
0000100   )   .  \n
0000103
linux:~ #
And i removed \n in the same way as is did before...
This time it is working, but Message Welcome to SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 (i586) - Kernel \r (\l).
is printing since hash is removed, My requirement is not to print message and blank line...Simultaneously both are not working....

Hope you help me with this...Thanks once again...

Waiting with anticipation.....

Dear repo,

Thanks for suggestion...

In your case it is working fine because it is printing some message when you login, please try to comment contents of /etc/issue.net and try...I hope it will give a blank line even if you remove \n at the end..

Dear Centosboy,

I have not got the solution yet...I dont want to print either message or blank line

Finally I removed /etd/issue.net and i tried
Code:
[vinay@localhost webhuddle]$ telnet 172.21.109.60
Trying 172.21.109.60...
Connected to 172.21.109.60.
Escape character is '^]'.

Linux 2.6.5-7.97-default (linux) (4)


linux login:
I dont know from where the message Linux 2.6.5-7.97-default (linux) (4)is coming ?

Any help ?
