pre-step 1:
install program check
#rpm -qa | grep telnet
telnet-0.17-42.fc9.i386
telnet-server-0.17-42.fc9.i386
if no telnet-server-0.17-42.fc9.i386
do follow command (or manual downalod and install by rpm install)
#yum install telnet-server
#service xinetd restart
1. Check If port 23 enable :
netstat -tnl | grep 23
no message ->telnetd not running correctlly,
success message -> tcp 0 0 :::23 :::* LISTEN
check if /etc/xinetd.d/telnet exist
if not add one ,follow is example test ok .
#cat /etc/xinetd.d/telnet
# default: on
# description: The telnet server serves telnet sessions; it uses
# unencrypted username/password pairs for authorations.
service telnet
{
disable = no
#only_from = 192.168.1.0/24
# no_access =
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
log_on_failure += USERID
}
here , please confirm /usr/sbin/in.telnetd is exist, if not make sure your telnet package is install ok or not.
2. modify /etc/pam.d/login
find line and comment out
#auth [user_unknown=ignore success=ok ignore=ignore default=bad] pam_securetty.so
3.add your telent service host
cat /etc/hosts ( 192.168.1.11 is the vmware host OS network adapter ipaddress,
user-a30a9.betaww.edu is the host OS PC network name in domain)
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
192.168.1.11 user-a30a9.betaww.edu
4,fi you complete all step ,but still can not work,try reboot your system or partial re-start some
of services .
but soory i did not research what the exactly services should be restart.
