[Dxspider-support] telnet and ports and xinetd

[Bill Shell]

Richard,

The following is a copy of what I am using with RedHat 7.2.  It should also
work on Mandrake.

Hi all pulling my hair out here.
I've tried using Listeners.pm in/local listening on port 7300, it just
gets ignored.
/etc/services has an entry:-
spdlogin 8000/tcp


/etc/xinetd.d/spdlogin

service spdlogin
{
	socket_type	= stream
	wait		= no
	user		= root
	server		= /usr/sbin/tcp
	server_args	= /spider/src/client login telnet
}

Client is there, its compiled and it works from the command line.

this produces connected to 44.131.90.2
escape character ctrl ]

and there it sits.and does nothing.

Ive tried altering the server line to = /usr/sbin/in.telnetd,

that gets connection refused as does using Listeners.pm,
also put the args after the server on the same line, ie.

server		= /usr/sbin/tcp /spider/src/client login telnet

Listneers.pm has some extra lines in as copied over from the main
dir.like the last line contains "@" and nothing else.
I've been trying to get this going for yonks, and yonks is a long time !

I dont want to have to go back and use inetd, which I had working.
as the machine is due for an upgrade to a later OS and a 2.4 kernel

version = 1.49 build 56.91

OS linux mandrake 7.2 kernel 2.2.17


any ideas please
