UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hello Friends,

I had an IRIX box won't let me login with any IDs (even root) Telnet, Rlogin, SSh. However, I can login by single user with root ID.

Telnet login >>> Connection closed by forgeign host.

Rlogin >>> Connection closed

SSh login >>> connection to address ???.????.???.??? port 22: Connection refused.

FTP is OK.

Any thoughts or comments will be greatly appreciated.

Either those services are not turned on (security reasons) or the system you are trying to get to the IRIX box are not allowed.

You would need to look at /etc/hosts.allow, /etc/hosts.deny, and/or /etc/inetd.conf. See IRIX security for more info. If telnet and rlogin are off, I suggest you keep it that way. Just try to get ssh working and turn off ftp (you can use scp instead) unless ftp is required.
