cannot telnet after restarting server

Dear guys,

Pls help me this case. I telnet normally to Solaris. After restarting it manually, I can only console, cannot telnet from my latop although I can ping it. I checked

/etc/default/login
/usr/sbin/in.telnetd
/etc/inet/inetd.conf

All these files are the same.

I don't see telnet service run:

# ps -ef|grep telnet
root 140 133 0 11:08:37 ? 0:00 grep telnet
#

Pls help me. Thanks

It's run by inetd.

Look in /etc/inetd.conf and you should see an entry.

Can you "telnet 127.0.0.1" from the box itself (loopback)

Please post the output uname -a

If you use Solaris 10 please try this:

svcs -l svc:/network/telnet:default

Normal output:
fmri svc:/network/telnet:default
name Telnet server
enabled true
state online
next_state none
state_time August 14, 2007 1:13:59 PM GMT
restarter svc:/network/inetd:default

Best regards
