Full Discussion: Listen given port
Operating Systems Solaris Listen given port Post 302686697 by rbatte1 on Wednesday 15th of August 2012 09:09:12 AM

You can adjust /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf to also offer telnet on the port. Then you can open telnet from a client to that port are see if it open.

If you add a line to /etc/services such as:-
Code:
mytelnet 1099/tcp

and add a line to /etc/inetd.conf such as:-
Code:
mytelnet  stream  tcp6    nowait  root    /usr/sbin/telnetd      telnetd -a

... and then signal inetd to re-read it's config, that should be enough. Check you man page for inetd or inetd.conf. It will probably suggest you send a kill -2, kill -HUP or something similar to the inetd process. Check you man page before issuing either of these in case they cause inetd to terminate and drop all network connections/services leaving just the console to get back in.

Then, from an appropriate client (suitable source address to test your firewall) issue:-
Code:
telnet put.ip.address.here  1099

You should get an instant response. If you get a login prompt, then on the server, you can run:-
Code:
netstat -na|grep 1099

... and see what is connected.


I hope that this helps.
