Solaris

Need help from the unix admins out there. I am trying to telnet from a windoze machine to a sun machine. It won't let me connect. I looked at etc/services and I found the port that telnet was listening on. But, how can I tell if its actually up and available? is there a unix command I can issue? Thanks in advance

I issued the netstat command on the machine in question hoping to see if I could find something on telnet. Can anyone help me interpret the output of netstat?

Is it possible to execute ssh from a windoze command prompt?

download putty - it allows you to connect to unix ssh painlessly - it is free.

We have putty, but i was wanting to connect from the windozze cmd prompt like to old days. Any ideas?

Code:

telnet on ssh port :)

I tried that. I get cannot open connection

is you network opened for that ?

By opening port it does not mean that system will able to connect on telnet port. You need to see the services also which are required, if you are on Solaris 10, grep the telnet with svcs and see if the services is enabled or disabled.


To test if the box can be connected from your location or net, check the system with ssh and if its through then you should get connected to through telnet. Also important point which you have to care about is from which user you are trying to connect, in case if you trying from root then you have to check the file called /etc/default/login lookout for CONSOLE variable and read the line above the variable.
