Telnet Service

Troubleshooting Telnet

The Telnet client

cannot logon to a

host

The Telnet client successfully established a

connection to the host, but could not logon. The user

may call you, as host system manager, to verify that

the logon account and passwords are correct and to

see if the system limits are set such that new Telnet

sessions are prohibited.

The Telnet server

cannot run an

application

The Telnet client successfully established a Telnet

connection and logs on to the host system. But, when

the user runs the application, the software behaves

oddly or it produces error messages. If you receive a

call about this problem, you or the user can consult

the Asynchronous Serial Communications

Programmer’s Reference Manual to see if the

application is attempting to use ﬁle system

instrinsics that the Telnet server doesn’t support. Or

have the user and his or her system manager check

the set and toggle values on their system to make

sure they are the values required by the application.

Invalid command The Telnet client user entered an invalid command at

the Telnet prompt. Type a question mark (?) to

display a list of valid commands.
