Inetd Listening But No Connection (ftp/Telnet)

Hi,

i am trying the run a ftp daemon on my board (sbc6000x) but it seems that the ftpd service is never started by inetd.conf.

My inetd.conf is :

Code:

#<service_name>	<sock_type>	<proto>	<flags> <user> 	<server_path> 	<args> 

ftp			stream		tcp		nowait	root	/usr/bin/ftpd ftpd -w
telnet			stream		tcp		nowait	root    /usr/sbin/telnetd

Telnet don't run too but this is because i am missing some folders and i can launch it manually after creating the folders without issue, but maybe the fact that it can't run telnet because of the missing folders make it stop trying the ftp daemon ?

I check with the command "ps", the processus is not running hidden anywhere.

I am currently working on a sbc6000x board with linux 2.6.24 on it and would like to use the telnetd command from busybox (v1.4.2).
I can run the Telnet daemon on the board and try to connect to it from another computer but each time the connection close.

In the terminal of the computer i have : (i changed the ip with Ipoftheboard here)

Trying Ipoftheboard
Connected to Ipoftheboard
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

I already tried to use the hosts.allow file with :
ALL : Ipofthecomputer

And i checked in /etc/initd.conf and Telnet is enabled.
I read that maybe the connection is closing because i don't have a user/password configured for the Telnet connection but i can't find where to configure them.

I must use Telnet, i can't use another solution like ssh.

Good Morning! I am supporting the coffee and Doritos industry with my frustration with this problem. I have been battling it for two months. I have several Red Hat books, the official Red Hat study guide, and have searched the forums for weeks with no avail. I was wondering if you have ever had this?

I am trying to "telnet server.example.com 25" or telnet in general. Both servers are running on a KVM on the 192.168.122.0/24 network.


[root@server ~]# telnet server.example.com
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
Trying 192.168.122.191...
telnet: connect to address 192.168.122.191: Connection refused

I can ssh, run NFS, and also run internal postfix e-mails.

IPTABLES IS TURNED OFF ON BOTH CLIENTS

Postfix and Telnet is configured on both clients, with both listening:

[root@server ~]# netstat -tulpn |grep :25
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1802/

When I Telnet from client named 'Server' to client named 'ISCSI', tpcdump on client 'ISCSI' gives the following:

Hi All,
We have qmail server running on RHEL6.5. We have already made sure that our server is not acting as an open relay with the help of http://mxtoolbox.com/diagnostic.aspx.
But still anyone can telnet to our domain and send fake emails to anybody@ourdomain.com. For example Code:

telnet mail.ourdomain.com 25
helo mail.ourdomain.com
mail from: unknown@anyname.com
rcpt to: anyemailid@ourdomain.com
data
from: "Any Unknow name" <unknown@anyname.com>
to: "Some user Name" <anyemailid@ourdomain.com>
subject: Testing MTA with telnet

Hi,
This way anybody can fool us.

Regards,

.
quit

So can anybody pls help me to prevent this. I meant to say, we should not block port 25, instead it should verify whether or not "from email id" is exist in our domain, if it is exist then it should ask for the password also or if it is not exist then also it should not take us to next step. Because as per above example anybody can fool us as the mail is coming from outside but it is just from our domain to our domain without any authentication!!!
Expecting your kind help to block sending mails in this way.

Hello guys, I am new to using Linux and trying to setup telnet server on CentOS 7. After installing with "yum install telnet telnet-server".
I tried editing the /etc/xinetd.d/telnet file which I could not find. Please what am I not doing right?

System Info:

I have normal user in CentOS 7 whose name is "mostafa" (the name of the account).

I naturally have another user called root with all privileges. User "mostafa" is put into sudoers file, too.

The OS is installed in VmWare, so the system is all mine.

Problem:

Now I create a file with touch file.sh and put a command in it, but when I want to run it with Code:

sudo ./file.sh

, an error is shown that the command Code:

./file.sh

does not exist. But if I Code:

 sudo chmod 777 ./file.sh

then it gets run. My question is that, why should I use Code:

chmod 777

when I myself have created the file, and I am in sudoers.

Can anyone explain me why shuold I still use Code:

sudo chmod 777

when the creator of the file is me.

Hi

I have users that log in to our linux server using telnet. Just yesterday out of the blue, the Telnet services would automatically stop, and so I have to log in through ssh to manually start the telnet services in order for users to log in.

Thanks in advance.

*I am a linux newbie, and have taken from a guy that left abruptly so Im still trying to teach myself cmds.

Hello,
I am using my raspberry pi with Linux 3.18+ installed. I changed the default ssh port from 22 to 16022. This is my sshd_config file:
Code:

# Package generated configuration file
# See the sshd_config(5) manpage for details

# What ports, IPs and protocols we listen for
#Port 22
Port 16022
# Use these options to restrict which interfaces/protocols sshd will bind to
#ListenAddress ::
#ListenAddress 0.0.0.0
Protocol 2

PAM auth is disabled and I only login using password. Now, I checked the authentication log file: /var/log/auth.log. This is a snippet of what it contains:
Quote:

How is this possible? Why is it showing these random ports for ssh?

This is what 'sudo netstat -nlp' gives:

Plus, I am accessing my machine from outside my home network. My router is configured to block all ports, except 16022, whose tcp traffic is forwarded to my raspberry pi. So I don't understand why the log file has these weird ports listed.

Hi all,

I am trying to configure sendmail on my OEL 6.5 running on VM.

I did below to set it :

1. # yum install m4 telnet mailx
2. # yum install sendmail sendmail-cf
3. # ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep -i sendmail
root 3805 1 0 05:58 ? 00:00:00 sendmail: accepting connections
smmsp 3815 1 0 05:58 ? 00:00:00 sendmail: Queue runner@01:00:00 for /var/spool/clientmqueue

4. # netstat -an | grep :25 | grep tcp
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

5. vi /etc/mail/sendmail.mc

From:
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl

To
dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl

6. # m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

7. # service sendmail restart

8. # vi /etc/mail/local-host-names
oracle.com

Now if I am sending mail from 1 user (root) to other user (oracle)

$ mail -s "Test mail from root" oracle
Hello this is the test mail
.
EOT

and checking mail log under /var/mail/oracle, its passing successfully.

But when trying to send the same from root user to my company outlook account not gtting any mail.

mail -s "Test mail from root" abc.xyz@aaaa.com (trying to send to my outlook account)

Getting below error on /var/log/maillog :

Please suggest if something I missed out or any other problem

Thanks,

Hello, I have an expect script where I ssh to a remote host to determine the network configuration and get from the user the network interface card that should be used. From their response, I determine the subnet mask and save the information to a text file that is later transmitted back to my local host. This is all so that I can set up virtual IP aliasing and verify that the physical IP address of the local and remote host are on the same subnet prior to continuing with the setup. I am running the script on Linux, with expect version 5.45.

The code itelf works just fine, but I'm having some issues with how it displays on the screen. As you'll see below in the example, the default system prompt displays, as does the user input command that I'm sending to the shell from the expect script.

Is there a regular expression or something that I can write to prevent the prompt and command that I'm sending from printing to the screen? I know that it should be suppressed if I have an expect command following the Code:

send -s "\nread n_card?'Enter the network interface card number for this server (i.e. eth0):   '\r

command, but everything I have tried for strings and regular expressions to expect causes the netstat -rn output to not show up all of a sudden. I'm new to expect, so I'm not really sure why this is happening.

I would really appreciate any help/suggestions. Thanks for your time!

Part of the Script Code:
Code:

expect {
   -re $prompt {   ;# Send individual commands and get user input
        set timeout -1
        
        # Get partner hostname and put in vipsetup.txt file
        send -s "hostname > vipsetup.txt\r"  
        expect -re $prompt
        
        # Display the network routing info for the user and prompt for 
        # network interface card number
        send -s "print \"The network routing table for the $ptner server is displayed below:\n\" ; netstat -rn \r"
        
        expect -re "\r(.*):\r"
        send -s "\nread n_card?'Enter the network interface card number for this server (i.e. eth0):   '\r"
        interact "\r" return    ;# Wait for user input from read command
        send -- "\r"
        send -s "echo \$n_card >> vipsetup.txt\r"  
        
        # Obtain subnet mask information for partner based on network 
        # interface card number being used
        send -s "msk=\$(cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-\$n_card | grep NETMASK)\r"
        send -s "msk=\$(echo \${msk#NETMASK=})\r"
        send -s "echo \$msk >> vipsetup.txt\r"
    }
    timeout {
        send_user "Connection to host $hostip timed out."
        exit 6 
    }
    eof {
        send_user "Connection to host $hostip failed."
        exit
    }
}
