Subject: Re: [bug-inetutils] Inet Utils Not Working ? Please Advice

Hi,
   Earlier i had posted an enquiry on inet utils on ARM board.
Eventhough it is not working.

  Now, i want to make sure if inet utils works on my system (intel
PC) running on fedora.

   i closed (killed) the xinetd and all other services like telnetd,
ftpd, talkd and so on that come with the usual Linux distribution.

 i closed (killed) xinetd also.

  I made sure they are not running through ps.

 Now i compiled inet utils for my system.

  i ran ./inetd and tried connecting to my system using telnet client.

# ./inetd/inetd -d

i got the following messages in my shell.

/usr/local/etc/inetd.conf:ADD : telnet proto=tcp, wait=0, user=root
builtin=0 server=/usr/sbin/telnetd
registered /usr/sbin/telnetd on 4
/usr/local/etc/inetd.conf:ADD : ftp proto=tcp, wait=0, user=root
builtin=0 server=/usr/sbin/ftpd

>From Another Shell i ran
#telnet XX.YY.18.12

Trying XX.YY.18.12...
Connected to XX.YY.18.12.
Escape character is '^]'.
telnetd: junk arguments in the command line
Connection closed by foreign host.
