How to start 'telnetd'

[Michael Shearer]

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
