telnet...
hi.
it`s no problem to use telnet. syntax:
telnet <name-of-machine-to-connect>
there are a few additional options:
-l <user> connects to the machine with a special username
-n <file> makes a file that traces your telnetsession
all other options like -c -d -8 -e -E -L -n i normaly don`t use, but you can read at the man-page section ("man telnet").
example:
you wanna connect to host "hugoland" as user "hugo", but you are user "root" on your machine. type:
telnet -l hugo hugoland
there is another interresting thing to know: normaly telnet connects automatic to port 23. this is defautl-tcp/ip standard. but when you wanna connect to another port (like 2031) type
telnet -l hugo hugoland 2031
this is the "client side" of telnet. now some words about the "server side".
if you wanna have a machine (server) to allow someone connect to your server per tlent, you have to run a telnet-daemon. this examples are from sun solaris 8, but normaly it`s nearly the same on hp-ux and aix.
the telnet server is controled by the "master-process" of all net-services "inetd". in the /etc/inetd.conf there are entrys for all services the "inetd" habe to serv/control. when you wanna enable/disable the telnet-service (from serverside!) comment/uncomment the line in the /etc/inetd.conf and restart the "inetd" (kill -1 <proc-id od inetd>)
on secury systems root is denied to login per telnet or ftp. this is defined in the /etc/default/login (on sun solaris) and/or in the /etc/ftpusers.
o.k., hope this helps,
cheers, alex...

telnet-probe
TELNET-PROBE(1) General Commands Manual TELNET-PROBE(1)
NAME
telnet-probe - lightweight telnet-like port probe
SYNOPSIS
$PCP_BINADM_DIR/telnet-probe [-c] [-v] host port
DESCRIPTION
telnet-probe allows the pmdashping(1) daemons to establish connections to arbitrary local and remote service-providing daemons so that
response time and service availability information can be obtained.
The required host and port number arguments have the same meaning as their telnet(1) equivalents.
The -c option causes telnet-probe to perform a connect(2) only. This skips the read(2) and write(2) exercise that would otherwise be done
after connecting (see below).
The -v option causes telnet-probe to be verbose while operating.
Once the telnet connection has been established, telnet-probe reads from stdin until end-of-file, and writes all the input data to the tel-
net connection. Next, telnet-probe will read from the telnet connection until end-of-file, discarding whatever data it receives. Then
telnet-probe exits.
To operate successfully, the input passed via telnet-probe to the remote service must be sufficient to cause the remote service to close
the connection when the last line of input has been processed, e.g. ending with ``quit'' when probing SMTP on port 25.
By default telnet-probe will not produce any output, unless there is an error in which case a diagnostic message can be displayed (in ver-
bose mode only) and the exit status will be non-zero indicating a failure.
PCP ENVIRONMENT
Environment variables with the prefix PCP_ are used to parameterize the file and directory names used by PCP. On each installation, the
file /etc/pcp.conf contains the local values for these variables. The $PCP_CONF variable may be used to specify an alternative configura-
tion file, as described in pcp.conf(5).
DIAGNOSTICS
If telnet-probe succeeds, then 0 will be returned. If the attempt to establish a connection fails or is terminated, then a non-zero exit
status is returned.
