Error! Could not retrieve authentication type.
There are two authentication mechanisms used by TELNET. One authentication mechanism is
based on Kerberos and the other is not. The type of authentication mechanism is obtained from
a system file which is updated by inetsvcs_sec (see inetsvcs_sec(1M)). If the system file on
either the local host or the remote host does not contain known authentication types, the above
error is displayed.
telnet/tcp: Unknown service
telnet
was unable to find the TELNET service entry in the services(4) database.
hostname: Unknown host
telnet
was unable to map the host name to an Internet address. Your next step should be to
contact the system administrator to check whether there is an entry for the remote host in the
hosts database (see hosts(4)).
?Invalid command
An invalid command was typed in telnet command mode.
system call>: ...
An error occurred in the specified system call. See the appropriate manual entry for a descrip-
tion of the error.
