Hi Folks,
My telnet access to the server is not available anymore. I have found that when I execute >telnet IP, the login prompt for username/password entry is not displayed. Cursor blinks in a empty line and I dont see the prompt to enter my username.
It hungs in this state and not possible to ctrl+c
When I try this, following process appears in
>ps -ef
root 9719 1 0 Aug03 ? 00:00:00 login -h xx.xx.xx.xx -p
In ps -ef list, similar processes are present and are not being cleared.
I tried to kill them without success by >kill -9 PID
I checked the messages log and found those logs,. I am able to ssh the same server

How I can solve this telnet problem?
Thanks,

Nobody has any idea?
What I can do for those processes? Also If I can killl them somehow, would it be possible to telnet ?
