telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

807557Oct 1 2008 — edited Jan 5 2009
hi,

I'm runing on solaris10 and my telnet doesn' t work . When I do telnet <ip_adress> I get this message:

telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

I was thinking that telnet is not enable so I did :

# svcadm enable telnet
svcadm: Pattern 'telnet' doesn't match any instances <= this the message I got !!

Then when I check if telnet exists like service, I find out that it's but it doesn't work!!

I did a searche inot /etc/service by
#more /etc/services |grep telnet
telnet 23/tcp

I don't know what's wrong with telnet!!

Please help. Thanks
