How to start 'telnetd'

[Sachin Rane]

Hi Mike,

 

I have compiled the BusyBox with CONFIG_TELNETD=y.

But still getting the message 'Connection closed by foreign host'. 

 

Regards,

Sachin

Hi Sachin,

 

You'll only be able to use Busybox in conjunction with inetd if you
compiled it with the CONFIG_TELNETD=y feature.  In theory, if you
execute telnetd from the command line and try to telnet to your
Bladecenter server, it should work.

	Thanks Michael and Edgar for pointing out the problem.

	 

	I have compiled the kernel with 'CONFIG_INET' support.

	The error message "telnetd: socket: address family not supported
by protocol" is not seen now.

	 

	But when I tried to connect the telnet server, it gives me
following message:

	$ telnet 192.168.0.8
	Trying 192.168.0.8...
	Connected to 192.168.0.8.
	Escape character is '^]'.
	Connection closed by foreign host. 
	 
	The entry for telnet in /etc/inetd.conf is:
	telnet  stream  tcp    nowait  root    /usr/sbin/telnetd
	 
	The entry for telnet in /etc/services is:
	telnet         23/tcp
	telnet         23/udp
	 
	The 'netstat -l' command  gives :
	Proto   Recv-Q  Send-Q  Local Address  Foreign Address
State
	tcp     0       0       *:ftp          *:*
Listen
	tcp     0       0       *:telnet       *:*
Listen
	 
	 
	 
	The 'nmap -sS 192.168.0.8' gives:
	Port    State   Service
	21/tcp  Open    ftp
	23/tcp  Open    telnet
	 
	 
	I think the entries are correct.
	 
	 
	Regards,
	Sachin Rane

	This is not a problem with Busybox but rather with your kernel.
Looks like TCP/IP is not supported.  Recompile your kernel with the
CONFIG_INET option enabled.

		Hi,

		 

		I am trying to use busybox on IBM BladeCentre
(configured as a diskless client).

		I am getting following error when tried to start the
'telnetd' daemon:

		"telnetd: address family not supported by protocol"

		 

		I have copied the inetd.conf from the 'example'
directory which comes with 'BusyBox' build.

		 

		Could you help me to start the 'telnetd'?

		 

		Regards,

		Sachin Rane
