[ILUG] Telnet problem

[Smith, Alan]

As a follow-up to earlier post, I have found the following line in
/var/log/auth.log :

Sep 14 12:14:31 lxdub01 in.telnetd^M[720]: error: cannot execute
/usr/sbin/in.telnetd^M: No such file or directory

Now /usr/sbin/in.telnetd does exist, but where does the ^M come from. It
seems like it thinks the ^M is part of the filename. I even tried renaming
/usr/sbin/in.telnetd to /usr/sbin/in.telnetd^M but in the log file it then
had ..../in.telnetd^M^M  .  I'm at a loss here - help....please ?!?


Regards,
Alan.

Subject: [ILUG] Telnet problem


I have just installed MDK 7.1 .  Everything was working fine, I could telnet
in no problem.  I made some changes to the SAMBA config using Webmin. I
copied over some files using FTP and then shut down the machine because I
needed to move it. When it came back up everything seemed OK. I can access
the files through the SAMBA share and I can connect with FTP , but I can no
longer telnet into the box.  I tried logging onto the box locally using root
and telnetting to localhost and just get the error "Connection closed by
foreign host" .

I'm not sure where to even look for error messages so any help would be
appreciated.



Regards & Thanks,

Alan Smith
