|
|
I just reinstalled casue my hd died and i've never had a problem with telnetd before, but for some reason when i try to start it up.. i keep getting this message...
Code: |
bash-2.05b# telnetd
telnetd: getpeername: Socket operation on non-socket
|
Any ideas what is going on.. i checked the kernel and i have all the basic's and i can telnet out fine. But it like won't bind localy, and of course i'm kicking it off as root..
I'm using netkit-telnetd
net-misc/netkit-telnetd-0.17-r6
.. i just dont' get it.. i'll try an earlier version see if that fixes it. |

telnet is intended to be run from inetd (or compatible ). It just opens stdin and treats it like a network socket. Try emerging xinetd, that's what I would use. It should come with a self-explanatory configs |

Yeah i got it working finally, originall it wasn't working with xinetd, so i tried to get it gonig with just telnetd, i must have mistook that it was a daemon and just a program.. but it seems after reinstalling xinetd a couple times it finally wants to connect and work now.. . Thanks |
