dear all,
i have 2 questions on solaris 10. I noticed telnet/ftp/print services suddenly being stopped on one server. How can i trace this issue and find a resolution. Other issue is i need to enable rsh within the same host. enabled the service rexec and have created the .rhosts and have a + in it, still i get the message saying permission denied.
Thanks in advance!
For checking which services are stopped and why, use 'svcs -x -v'. This will tell you the status of your telnet/ftp services, and in your case, also why they have stopped.
Thanks for the reply blowtorch. svcs -x -v does not return anything. Any idea what i should check for in the messages log to see at what time it ceased operation?
Check the man page of svcs.
It may be that the problem is not with the telnet service. Have you tried something like 'telnet 0'? Does that go through?
Yes, when the users were complaining i checked out and got to know that telnet/ftp and printer services were disabled. I don't know how it happened ?
