| Unknown service | This message will be written to
$STDLIST for JINETD.NET.SYS when a Telnet client is
unable to find the Telnet entry in the services file. Telnet client users
may see a similar message on their terminal, and call you, the system
manager of the host, to resolve the problem. Open the services file and
make sure that the line telnet 23/tcp exists. If necessary add the
line and then reconfigure the Internet daemon. For more information, read
"Editing the Services File" earlier in this chapter. |
| The Telnet client cannot run Telnet | The Telnet client user may
not have entered the correct program name at the prompt, which is
TELNET.ARPA.SYS. Or, there may be problems with the network. |
| The Telnet client cannot connect to the host | The Telnet client
user can encounter this problem for one of several reasons: |
|
The user entered the domain name, IP address, or NS node name
incorrectly. The system the client attempted to access does not support
Telnet. The network of the system the client attempted to access is not
working. The Internet daemon is not running on the system the client tried
to access. |
| There is a host name lookup failure | The Telnet user tried to
log on when the network was not running. Or the host system the client
tried to access is not configured on the network. |
| 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. |
