Solaris 9 - Unable to access new server via telnet.

Hi,

I can currently connect to the server using the serial port, however I am unable to access the server via telnet.

I created a new user and password with the cuar properties.

When ever I try to access the server via telnet, it states: Sun OS 5.9, and then it prompts me with a username / password prompt.

Is there a special permission I must provide a user to grant them telnet access?

Thanks for your help!

sounds normal to me. Telnet does not login with a default username/password.

Don't think sunscreen is the problem here as the login prompt is being displayed.

we need more info as to what the problem actually is.

Sorry .. missed a (

for seemless logging into a server you should use something like SSH.

If security is not a problem, then using rsh will work. A file called ~/.rhosts will need to be created with the hostname of the server the user will be coming in from.

Also, if pshattuck's command does not work, you could use 'expect'.
