when all the users try to login using telnet they will counter the error 3004-031 . and they can not access the system . our application is sbglobus (temenos )
if the issue only occurs when "everybody" is trying to login at the same time -- like at the start of the day -- and fixed by retrying the login later, you may be running into a timeout issue with the password authentication from the overload at the telnet port ...
if the authentication server is not local to the site, see if a local replica could help ... otherwise, check if the application server is capable enough of handling the load ...
Could this be that you have exhausted the defined pool of terminals. We have an HP-UX server with a similar issue. We increased the number of terminals, but that just delayed things. We ended up finding the old processes that were holding the terminals busy and terminating them Not the neatest bit of coding I ever wrote, but it was years ago. The script (run from /dev/pts) is this:-
Obviously, you may need to assure yourself with the processes first. Change the kill -9 to echo kill -9 and it won't do any damage. If you are okay with this, then schedule it.
The bit in red shows why we have to run it from /dev/pts. If we were to fully qualify it, then the expansion of /dev/pts/t* exceeded the command line limit.
If telnet were disabled, you would get a connection refused rather than a message with number. For this to occur, the connection will have been established.
To thecobra151,
The message number (if you are on AIX) suggests a password time-out. If you are on AIX, can you SSH in and have a look at the value in /etc/security/login.cfg for the value of logintimeout
From your description, it would suggest that someone may have changed this to a very small number, however zero (or negative) would be unlimited. With a 1 second delay, I can generate the messages:-
I can also get this if I'm quick on the draw typing my user id in:-
Does this help you? If you are on another OS, can you confirm what it is and the version so we can consider.

Hopefully my question makes sense, but I was wondering if the telnet service has anything to do with console logins or if they are completely unrelated. So for example, does the /etc/default/login file in UNIX have anything to do with Telnet? So if I want to verify that the root user can't login... (8 Replies)
