I also tried telnetting to port 7 and 25, > same result. I tried rlogin, no go. I have the same problem! It seems that this may somehow be related to inetd, but I can't be sure. I can't ftp, rlogin, telnet, talk, etc., to the machine, even via localhost. The crazy thing is, the network is running fine. I can telnet and ftp out, and things that aren't cranked up via inetd (e.g. named, sshd, sendmail) work just fine. Any connection that's made to the machine on a port handled by inetd just hangs. The sockets stay in the CLOSE_WAIT state (from netstat). generic info: 2.1.0-951104-SNAP, SMC Elite 16C Ultra, DES and Kerberos distributions installed. I don't think this is kerberos related, since it shows up with finger, talk, etc. Does anyone have any ideas on this?
