Dear reader,

I cannot reach my Linux Server with Telnet. When I try to do that I get to following messages:

Connecting to 2.11.100.10
Connected. Waiting for login prompt...
Connection terminated
Closing connection

At home i'm running Linux 6.2 and there I don't have these problems. What is different with SuSE 7.0 and how can I make it work. Please, can anyone help me?

Greetings,

It sounds that most likely you don't have telnetd up and running. You may also want to check /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny, but if it were a hosts.deny issue you would get a connection refused message.

Linux security is tightened up some and you you should check to make sure that the telnet port is opened up (even if telnet is running if the port is disabled it will start to connect like this before disconnecting) I dont have my book here in my office but if you need some more help making sure the port is open email me and I will get the info from my book (I always forget it but need to do this about 4-7 times a year)
