No telnet prompt!

I have installed Solaris 2.6 on a Netra T1 platform and have the following problem -
When I telnet to the server (from any host ie Router, PC or Sun) I don't receive a prompt requesting the user name. Yet if I enter the username and password (the password is not hidden) and then issue 'who' on the server it shows me as logged in. netstat -a show the TCP session to be established.
However, if on the server I telnet to the 127.0.0.1, or any valid IP address on the server, I am presented with a prompt for the username.
I have installed the latest patches and rebooted the machine, but this has not solved the problem.
Someone must have experienced this, but does anyone know how to resolve it or the cause?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

check /etc/inetd.conf file for telnet entry
should be something like
telnet stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/sbin/in.telnetd in.telnetd
compare it with a working machine inetd.conf file
also check the file size of /usr/sbin/in.telnetd as compared to a similar machine on which telnet is working.
ls -al /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin 28112 Nov 30 2000 /usr/sbin/in.telnetd (sol8)
Please revert back with the results.
Thanks & Regards

Telnet Prompt and CSM Probing

We are in the process of installing newly acquired CSM modules in order to load-balance internal traffic to a set of Telnet servers. The Telnet servers interact with other application servers hosting an in-house developed application that is causing an intermittent problem. When a user connects to a Telnet server, a Telnet sessions sometimes get established without a prompt. We are looking for a way to rectify this problem by using the probing feature on the CSMs. We would like to configure the CSMs to remove the Telnet servers that are experiencing this problem from service. This problem cannot be fixed by setting up a simple Telnet probe, because the badly behaving server will still respond to these probes although the prompt is not being displayed.
An HTTP application level problems can be probed by the CSMs using the HTTP Return Code Checking feature. This is due to the nature of the HTTP protocol where the error codes are displayed in the HTTP header. The CSMs are capable of parsing the HTTP packets and reading the error codes. This feature can be used to certain extent with FTP and Telnet. Could it be used to fix this particular problem? How? If not, do you have other suggestions?
Thanks,
Bachir Najm

Using a Tcl script as a health probe on the CSM allows you to open a connection to a host, send/receive data on that connection, and parse through the responses you receive.
So, you could write a Tcl script that opens a telnet connection to the server, and tries to match against the expected prompt string. If the match fails, you can set an error condition in the script.
Download the file 'c6slb-apc.3-1-9.tcl' from here:
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/cat6000-csm
It contains a set of sample scripts that can be used on the CSM.

RME unable to telnet to devices presenting "username:" prompt

In the network of my latest LMS 3.2 installation a lot of the devices is presenting a telnet prompt with a lowercase "u" in username. This seems to cause the RME to not be able to login to the devices. I remember from earlier that it was possible to edit a file on the LMS server to decide which prompts were acceptable. Does anyone know if this still is possible or how to solve this problem?

Many thanks for your input, it solved my problem
Do you also know what to do if there are several different prompts presented? Just add lines of USERNAME_PROMPT= in the file?

Visio 2010 Link a Stencil to Telnet

Good morning everyone,
I have been searching Google for two days now on how to link a Visio 2010 Stencil to Telnet so that when you hold control and click the stencil it brings you to the telnet login prompt for that router or switch.
I went to insert hyperlink, then chose local file, and linked to telnet.exe for starters. When I ctrl+click on a stencil I get a security warning asking if I want to continue; I clicked yes, but nothing happened. For kicks, I even tried clicking No and
still nothing happens.
I then tried creating a shortcut to telnet and pointing the hyperlink to that local file with no luck.
Lastly I wrote a .bat file and tried to get the .bat file to launch telnet to my router/switch, and that works if I directly open the .bat file but does not link from Visio.
Does anyone know how I can simply make Visio 2010 so that I can click on the stencil and it auto opens telnet prompt allowing me to login to that device?
Thank you

The technique the example uses requires modifications to the shape (thus making them unique on the page) and the code then calls an executable that accepts command line options and enters the appropriated operands to the call (ip address, port, etc.).
This is the 'easy' way to accomplish calling the telnet session. Be aware that as of Win7 calling command line executables via a browser was modified to make it more difficult.

Cannot get Telnet to work between two servers on same subnet

I need to test if communication is open on port 8444 between two servers.
I installed telnet client on a Server 2008 R2 server and telnet server on a Server 2008 SP2 server. I also manually started the Telnet service that was set to disabled on the SP2 server. I disabled the Windows firewall on both servers. They
are both on the same subnet so they don't need to go through any routers and I can ping successfully.
When I try to telnet to the remote server by typing telnet "ip address" 8444, I get an error that says "Could not open connection to host, on port 8444: Connection failed.
I tried other ports like port 80 and got the same error.
What else is needed to get this to work?

VMs have nothing to do with it, as long as there's network communication between the servers.
As I said, there must be a service or application listening on that port for it to respond. For example, try this:
C:\> telnet
When the telnet prompt opens, type in:
open mail.messaging.microsoft.com 25
If it works, you should see this:
220 CH1EHSMHS035.bigfish.com Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service ready at Thu, 7 Feb 2013 00:57:33 +0000
That means that Microsoft's mail servers are LISTENING on port 25 and it responded. And note, telnetting to port 25 is a non-default telnet port, because port 23 is the default telnet port. When you type in a space and then a port number, you're telling
the telnet client to use that port.
That is the SAME THING if some sort of application or service is listening on port 8444 on that other server you're trying to telnet to. If there is no app or service listening, it will just time out.
And no, installing the TELNET service on that sercver will NOT answer to any port other than 23. The telnet service by default, uses TCP 23, unless you specify otherwise.
So once again, what service or app on that server is supposed to be listening on 8444?

Executing servlet in command prompt

Can we run the servlet in the cmd prompt .
I am using tomcat5
server in windows Environment .

Can we run the servlet in the cmd prompt .**sigh**Dont see any reason why you would want to do
this, but yes you could.
Put a main method, create an instance of the servlet
and call the various methods like in any other java
class. You would have to generate a request and
response object to call the processing methods.
Note::: This servlet when run in this fasion wouldnt
be responding to a browser request which is what it
was originally intended for and you wouldnt be able
to do a darend thing with the o/p.
I am using tomcat5
server in windows Environment .doesnt matter, you are invoking from the command
prompt, the container has no role to play here.
Note: On second thoughts, you could post a http
request from a telnet prompt.
GET HTTP/1.1 /url/This would post the request to the server which would
invoke the servlet - dont know if this is what you
are looking for.
cheers,
ram.I think this defeats the purpose of servlets- no request-response mechanism.

Invoke 64 bit Telnet client via 32 bit JRE

Hi,
How do i invoke 64 bit Telnet client of a Win 7 OS via 32 bit JRE.
String command = "cmd /c start cmd.exe /K \"telnet <ip-address>\"";
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
It works fine as expected if i use 64 bit JRE.
It throws "telnet' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." while i execute via 32 bit JRE.
but my requirement is tightly coupled with 32 bit JRE.
is there anyway to overcome this issue?
or any possible work around ?
Expecting your responses.
Thanks
Vetri

found the solution by someway.:)
Copy the "telnet.exe" file from C:\Windows\System32 folder to C:\Windows\SysWOW64
Post this operation, telnet prompt got opened while it executed via 32 bit JRE even though telnet client is specific to operation system. i.e 64 bit.
String command = "cmd /c start cmd.exe /K \"telnet <ip-address> \"";
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);

Opening Telnet with a web browser

Hi,
I don't know if I'm posting this thread in the right forum, I hope I am. I want to have a web page and, when the user selects a link, I want a telnet prompt to be opened in the user's computer. Not a embeded one, but the actual telnet program they use on their computers. Does anyone know if there's a way to do it using servlets, JSP, Java...?
I know this does it, but it will open the prompt in the server.
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c telnet 201.78.23.122 1234");Is there an equivalent I can use to do it on the client's side?
Thank you

You could try using a telnet URL. Something like this:
telnet://201.78.23.122:1234
Of course, the user's browser needs to be configured correctly to call the telnet client. In Windows, try AbsoluteTelnet. It configures your browser for you so these types of telnet links will work properly. SSH links too:
ssh://201.78.23.122:1234

Bypassing Grand Central Press 1 prompt with PAP2-NA

I am using PAP2-NA (Firmware Version: 3.1.9(LSc)) with the Gizmo Project and Grand Central. I am trying to bypass the Grand Central press "1" prompt on incoming calls. With Sunrocket Gizmo, the following is apparently the way to do this. What is the equivalent way of doing this with PAP2-NA? I see only 2 DTMF related options in PAP2-NA administration.
---DTMF Tx Method (InBand/AVT/INFO/Auto)
---Hook Flash Tx Method (None/AVT/INFO)
I've tried all combinations of the above options but am still prompted.
Approach with Sunrocket Gizmo from http://www.kalyansuman.com/2007/08/free-voip-with-gizmo-project-grand.html
4) Change Gizmo settings using Telnet (to avoid press 1, 2 , 3 and 4 instructions on phone)
Telnet into your Gizmo - Go to Command Prompt and type Telnet.
At Telnet prompt - type 'open 192.168.251.1"
This will prompt you for username and password - give 'admin' for user name and passowrd that you set in step 3.
1) Press C2 and make sure RFC2833 (SDP and 2833 packets) is ALWAYS OFF
2) Press Cs
3) Look for Use SIP INFO for DTMF = Yes
4) If it says no, then press c to change settings.
4.1) Look for 18. SIP INFO for DTMF
4.2) Press 18 to set it to yes
4.3) Press y at the following prompt Use SIP INFO for transmitting DTMF digits?[y/n]
4.4) Press w to write setting to Flash
You should be now accepting inbound calls without needing to press 1, 2 and 3.

Bump..I have the same problems (even worse) with my PAP2T-NA and GizmoProject/Grand Central. When I Click2Call (on GrandCentral) to my phone and some 1800 numbers, DTMF tones didn't work (such as Bank's menu) unless I used "DTMF Tx Method:InBand", and that solved the problem- but it created a new one. DTMF didn't work on Grand Central's menu (press 1 to accept, 2 to reject, and so on). So when somebody called me via GrandCentral, I couldn't answer the phone. I haven't found any solutions yet. I can't believe that I'm the only one who's having this issue. If SunRocket Gizmo is fixable with that, I think it should be addressable in PAP2T. Any suggestions? My current PAP2T-NA Firmware Version is 5.1.6(LS) (just updated). How should I fix it with these options? I need to get both of functions working. (To bypass the grandcentral "press 1" would be the ultimate goal only if the DMTF is working correctly.) DTMF Process INFO:Yes/No DTMF Process AVT:Yes/No DTMF Tx Method:InBand/AVT/INFO/AUTO DTMF Tx Mode:Normal/Strict Hook Flash Tx Method:None/AVT/INFO Thanks!

WebSAPConsole , telnet serever ,RF terminal and SAP logon screen

What would be the easiest way to connect RF terminal(character based) to an SAP system.
Of course it is via WebSAPconsole. As far as I red WebSAPconsole guide if I want to use it to connect character based RF terminal is the same as preaviously SAPconsole(under e.g.SAP enterprise 4.7 ext2.)
1.st install telnet server (best SLnet 2.6RF from Seattle LABS) and then configure In SAP console administrator in Control panel entered corresponding system ip,sysnr and transaction code(from saplogon)
However on RF terminal SAP logon screen does not appear. But only telnet prompt.
What to do? Should the telnet server and SAP console be on an other machine than SAP server(ECC6)?

Hi Thomas Kremer,
Can you help me to solve this issue!?
I´m facing with same error then you. I did a homogenous system copy and after I finish this SAPINST I install the saplogon and of course I try to accede to SAP system and the first thing that display in system is that short dump --> dynpro_itab_error
What´s this?! How you solve this issue... can you remmember? (I know that already was a two years ago but even so if you remember this can you share with me!?).
Best regards,

Port forwarding between two servers from Same subnet

Hi,
We have a Cisco ASA 5520 Version 8.4(3). There exists a site to site VPN tunnel between us and a client and the client sends us the data to our local host/server 10.x.x.20 on port 52944. So 10.x.x.20 gets data on port 52944. We want to forward this data to a test server 10.x.x.21( same subnet IP) on port 52945. so basically I want to forward traffic from 10.x.x.20:52944 to 10.x.x.21:52945.
Is this possible. I am a new bee to the networking and still learning. Excuse me if this sounds silly.
I know we can add one more ACL in the VPN tunnel and add this test server IP in the ACL. but, then I have to ask the clinet to change their ACL too. I dont want to do this. So I want to wrok around it. Any help or suggestions is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance :)
This is my first ticket in the support community.

Resetting PIX 515E 'enable' password and/or Factory Reset

                   We have a PIX Firewall where the last user of the device had not changed the 'enable' password and username so we are locked out of the device. I did some research and found a password reset tool that was supposed to clear the 'enable' password on the device. I set up a TFTP with the 'np61.bin' file needed. I went into 'monitor>' mode, set the interface, address and server address and it pings with success. I pointed it at the file and sent the 'tftp' command. I saw it downloading and booting off the binary file and after letting it go for a little bit (I walked away for a little while and came back to my telnet prompt) I noticed it was stuck in a loop:
No bootable image in flash. Please download an image from a network server in the monitor mode
Failed to find an image to boot
Rebooting......
                    I downloaded a copy of the latest firmware, 'pix804-28.bin', and repeated the process used for the password reset file. After loading, I am greeted with my familiar prompt:
XXXX-XXX-Xx-Xx0-XX>
XXXX-XXX-Xx-Xx0-XX>enable
Username: pix
Password: pix
Username: pix
Password:
Username: cisco
Password: cisco
Access denied.
XXXX-XXX-Xx-Xx0-XX>
                    I then did a hard reset, and was stuck back in the loop I was in before, asking me to reflash a boot image. I now need to somehow load the IOS back onto the router (As it seems to just be booting from the TFTP server), and then after that still remove the enable password or somehow default the entire firewall to Factory Defaults. If anyone knows how to solve my issue or has any ideas for me to try, you help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Still having trouble with this, has no one encountered this problem before?

WLC-Radius Integration..

Hi
I want to do the WLC authentication with radius.the problem is when i enter the username and password , in radius it shows authentication passed but in telnet prompt it asks again for username password as if wrong username-password.
attached are debug capture of WLC and radius config summry.
can u please help me on the same

Hi
similar incident i have observed on cisco.
Problem Title
Unable to login to WLC even after the successful authentication message is received from the RADIUS Server
Resolution For the Remote Access Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) user to login to the controller, the login user entry in the RADIUS server has to be associated with an attribute, Service-Type.If this attribute is not sent back to the controller from the ACS, the authentication finishes successfully (access-accept) and you do not see any authorization error on the controller, even with debug aaa all enable. But, you are prompted again for authentication. The only thing missing in the RADIUS return packet is the service type 6 attribute.Refer to the Before Using RADIUS Attributes section of RADIUS Attributes for more information on how to configure the service-type attribute.
It seemseverything ok in WLC and radius attribute is a problem..

Thanks in Advance

LOM stands for light-out-management, its basicly a device which stands between you and your console. The lom can be used to power on and power off a machine, it can also be used to control and log the console.
Hence, since there is a LOM and the console, you need to keep track of two different ways of getting to your OBP.
If you are at the LOM prompt (lom>) you just type 'break', if you are at the console you use ctrl+] to get to the telnet prompt and then type 'send break' .
A small LOM tutorial, to go from the LOM to the console you type 'console', to go from the console back to the LOM you type '#.' (hash and dot).
I can also recommend typing 'help' at the LOM prompt :-)

Aaa authentication enable console (server_name) password issue

Here is the problem I am experiencing and I hope someone out there is able to help;
I have a ASA5510 (running software Version 8.0(3)). I have enabled remote authentication to our company's TACAC server (which is running TACAC open source supplied by Cisco).
The problem is as follows;
I can telnet to the appliance remote and using my username and password (configured on the TACAC server) I am authenticated. But after entering enable - I am prompted with the password prompt. But I can not get pass this prompt. I have tried the same password as I previous enter at the telnet prompt and failed, the local enable password fails as well. Any suggestion.
aaa-server (server_name) protocol tacacs+
aaa-server (server_name) (interlinkport) host (Address)
key (password)
aaa authentication enable console (server_name) LOCAL
aaa authentication enable console (server_name) LOCAL

aaa authentication serial console (server_name) LOCAL
aaa authentication ssh console (server_name) LOCAL
aaa authentication telnet console (server_name) LOCAL
aaa accounting command privilege 15 (server_name)
aaa authorization exec authentication-server

I think I can help you here since I've been using Cisco
Freeware TACACS+ for almost 7 years now. I am not
an expert, just enough to be dangerous.
Since the code is open-source, each company uses
differently; however, there is one thing that will
always true. That would be the the enable.c file,
which is a C program. You would need to modify
this file so that EVERYONE can have his/her own
enable password, just like Cisco ACS running on
Windows platforms.
the configuration file would look something like this:
accounting file = /var/log/tac_plus.log
key = zFgGkIooIsZ.Q
user = cciesec {
member = admin
name = "ccie security"
login = cleartext "cciesec"
user = $cciesec$ {
member = admin
name = "ccie security"
login = cleartext "cciesec1"
group = admin {
default service = permit
On the Pix:
aaa-server NEO protocol tacacs+
aaa-server NEO (outside) host 192.168.15.10
timeout 5

aaa authentication ssh console NEO LOCAL
aaa authentication enable console NEO LOCAL

In other words, my initial password is "cciesec" and my enable password

password.
Simple enough?

No telnet prompt!
