I can now take the time to revisit this issue after having been
distracted by my boss for a few days. If you recall, I cannot telnet,
ssh or rsh into this redhat 8.0 install. rsh will not go out either.
Matt suggested the following:
2) Run nmap and/or netstat to determine if a box is listening on port 23
for telnet and port 22 for ssh:
# This will show what ports are listening and which applications
have the ports open (run as root).
$ netstat -pnl | egrep "22|23"
# From a remote host:
$ nmap -p 22-23 hostname
*** neither port is listening at this point!!
3) Run ps to see if telnet/ssh is running:
*** neither is running
$ ps axf | egrep "ssh|telnet"
4) Search for sshd/telnetd to see if you have a variation of the
ssh/telnet daemon(s) installed:
$ find /usr -name "*telnet*"
$ find /usr -name "*ssh*"
*** I have removed and re installed telnet from redhat rpm's.
5) If some variation of sshd/telnetd is found, manually run the command
as root:
$ /usr/sbin/telnetd
OR
$ /usr/sbin/sshd
*** I have nothing that resembles a daemon process to execute at all.
6) See if you can ssh/telnet to the host from a remote host after
manually running the command.
user@remotehost$ ssh <hostname or ip_address>
user@remotehost$ telnet <hostname or ip_address>
*** Nope, nothing
I have the same problem with rsh. Nothing happens when I execute the
command.
What the heck as I missing here?? I installed the same OS on a
workstation and viola, everything works. It is as if the install
screwed up somewhere.
