I have       that exact same file you have in your reply to me in my /etc/xinetd.d       directory. When I run the xinetd service manually it shows in the logs that        it        is listening on that port (22). I have telnetd installed but noticed that I       had to change the -L /opt/mbse/mblogin to a -E in this version of telnetd.              So my machine does answer the telnet connection and let me log in to the bbs       and shows me the first welcome screen. At the bottom of that welcome screen        it       says "BBS is not allowed on thsi port" and hangs up. When I connected this       time the sysop shows that I was connect to pts/3. Is it possible that       ArchLinux has a different naming for telnet sessions? I do thind this strange       in that I can SSH as right now I'm using the board in a ssh session and it's        on       tty pts/1.              Stephen                      ---       The Bit Bucket BBS - telnet://bbs.thebitbucket.ca              --- MBSE BBS v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux-x86_64)        * Origin: The Bit Bucket BBS (1:342/13)    |
