Original question was:
I'm having a problem telnetting into a Sun box. The box is running
Solaris v2.5 (x86) with the recommended patches. Yes, I will also be
asking the Solaris-x86 list the same question but have this address on
hand now and believe the problem is not architecture based - I hope!
The problem: When a telnet session is started, all that is seen by the
person telnetting in is:
--------------------- snip -----------------
any/allmachines.anywhere.com$telnet ns1
Trying x.y.z.q...
Connected to ns1.domain.domain.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed
--------------------- snip -----------------
I received many comments regarding what to look for, etc. Out of sheer
frustration I did the following - results included:
rlogin ns1.domain.domain
rlogin: /bin/login - exec format error
I then copied login from the CD to /bin and it telnet started working. So
my problem was that the file login was corrupt.
The system had *not* been on a UPS but rather on just a "surge protector"
plug of a UPS...thus the file could have gotten corrupted when the system
bounced. That or I've been hacked. :-) I've fixed the first and am
investigating the second.
Many thanks to those users who responded.
