    Telnet (XP -> Kubuntu) Problem

    Hello,

    I´m having problems getting connected via telnet (XP -> Kubuntu).

    I am running Kubuntu within VMWare on a Win-XP computer.

    The following line I added to /etc/inted.conf:
    2401 stream tcp nowait joey bin/echo echo hello
    (I restarted inetd after I added this line).

    Yes, I only want to get back a "hello".
    The reason I am using port 2401 is, that my actual destination is to have a CVS server running in Kubuntu. Since I got a connection error message while trying to connect to CVS, I first wanted to make sure, if it is a network or a CVS problem. Right now it looks like a network problem.

    The following error I get (under Windows) when I type in this command:
    telnet 192.168.0.2 2401
    Could not connect to host at port 2401: connetion refused.
    (Something like that ... it is a translation.)

    Since there is no firewall installed within Kubuntu (as far as I know) do you have any idea, where there could be a problem?
    Did I forget to configure something in Kubuntu?
    Could VMWare cause problems?

    The ping (XP <-> Kubuntu) works fine. Furthermore a Servlet-Container (Tomcat) can be accessed on port 8080. Just telnet gives me trouble.

    If you need additional information regarding my system, like version of VMWare, Version of Kubuntu ... I will of course add that.

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Hello,

    I want to add that I installed telnetd too.

    The installation added the following line to /etc/inetd.conf:
    telnet stream tcp nowait telnetd /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in telnetd

    I restarted inetd of course.

    Under Windows I tried to connect like this:
    telnet 192.168.0.2

    I still get the same error message.

    Any ideas?

      is there a specific reason/need for using telnet instead of ssh?
      CVS can be configured to use ssh by setting the CVS_RSH env variable to ssh.
      ...
      gnu/linux is not windoze

        I know.

        I am using CVS in my job for a couple of years already. But I never installed / had to install the CVS server till now.

        My first step is to make sure, there are no network/communication problems.
        My second step is to make CVS run with pserver.
        My third, to use ssh.

        I just do that to get into it.

          Hi again,

          I solved my problem.
          I had to install "netkit-inetd".

          Now telnet is working fine. I can finally continue with CVS. I hope it will not give me further problems.
          Let's see...
