RE: help with telnet

I checked the hosts.allow and host.deny.
Hosts.allow
# See tcpd(8) and hosts_access(5) for a description.
#ALL EXCEPT in.fingerd, in.identd : ALL : spawn (safe_finger -l @%h 2>&1 | \
#	/bin/mail -s "%d-%h %u" root)  &

I tried uncommenting - still "login incorrect"
Also added the IP from which I was telneting - still "login incorrect"

Hosts.deny
# See tcpd(8) and hosts_access(5) for a description.
http - rman : ALL EXCEPT LOCAL

Tired commenting this - still "login incorrect"

I also followed another suggestion to check /etc/shells to see if passwd
shell was there. It was there.

The other suggestion I got was to see if PAM was running - not sure what it
is.

Any other suggestions?  

After the install I had to setup inetd to start on startup b/c it was not by
default.  Think I did a workstation install.

Thanks
Alex

No, you get the same error. It's always better to show as little
information as possible to the 'ouside'.

Perhaps you should check the /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny files
?
