Hi,

I?m trying to enable ftp/telnet in Solaris 10, this is my first time i use solaris 10, could you help me please?

 

 

If "svcs ftp" reports that the ftp service is in the "disabled" state, then you should be able to run "svcadm enable ftp" to enable it. Same thing for telnet. I believe that after a default install of Solaris 10, though, these services will already be enabled.

 

 

Thanks.....everything is fine now....

 

 

Hi

I hve got install sol. 10, i would like to enable telnet service.
Currently i have the below status..couldn't enable it "svcadm enable telnet"

bash-3.00# svcs -a |grep telnet
uninitialized 2:19:59 svc:/network/telnet:default

Pls. assist me..

 

 

So what 'svcs -vx' says? There must be something interesting in the
output which related to the failure.

Steve..here we go the o/p of the command "svcs -vx"
Couple of dependent services has not running...

I suspect that inetd can't run because of filesystem/local being in maintenance.
Run "svcs -x telnet" and "svcs -x inetd" to be sure. If so, then filesystem/local
is probably failing because something went wrong with a mount. Take a look
at /var/svc/log/system-filesystem-local:default.log , and if you can fix the problem,
run "svcadm clear filesystem/local".

 

 

Hi ;

I have the same problem i could not enable telnet and inetd, also why i try with this command it shows me:

dns/client usually depends on /etc/resolv.conf . Does that file exist?

 

 

The zone is new...
login into the console with zlogin -C
answer the questions
problem fixed..

 

 

Hi all,
I too facing the same problem for telnet and ssh service ,but here telnet is showing online and ssh is showing offline, even though telent is online with in local system i can able to access telnet while connecting from remote system its showing Connecting To X.X.X.X...Could not open connection to the host, on port 23: Connect failed.

Can any body help me on this issue..:)

Thanks,

If svcs shows telnet to be online, but it doesn't work, then
you need to contact a networking forum.

 

 

Hi,

I configured /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf for the server to use DNS resolution and all it's working fine, but smf service "network/dns/client" is in disabled state. So what is this service for?

# svcs -xv dns/client
svc:/network/dns/client:default (DNS resolver)
State: disabled since Fri Dec 21 11:49:42 2007
Reason: Disabled by an administrator.
See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-05
See: man -M /usr/share/man -s 3RESOLV resolver
Impact: This service is not running.

Thanks in advance.

 

 

It's a "checkpoint" service. One that is used to make sure certain things run at particular times at startup. It's not a running daemon that controls DNS in any way.

So at startup, if particular services have come up (like networking and filesystems), and if a resolv.conf is in place, then it will allow other services that would prefer to wait until DNS is stable to start.

SMF doesn't continually check for file dependencies, so if 'resolv.conf' is added later, the service will stay disabled. You can bring it up, but as you've seen, it's not necessary to actually run as a DNS client.

Hi, are you checked telnet port 23 is added in /etc/services file?
