Troubleshooting rlogin and telnet problems
If ping works correctly but
rlogin(TC)
or
telnet(TC)
fails, consult the appropriate manual page to make sure that
your command syntax is correct.
If the syntax is correct, verify that your /etc/hosts file
has an entry for the target host.
The following telnet or rlogin error message indicates either that there are no more pseudo-ttys available to make additional connections or that the terminal database does not contain entries for the /dev/ttyp?? the system is attempting to use:
Cannot obtain database information on this terminal. Connection closed.For information on gaining access to additional pseudo-ttys, see ``Adding or removing pseudo-ttys''.
