Fedora :: Telnet Fails With "connection Closed By Foreign Host"?
Nov 5, 2010
I performed a F13 to F14 upgrade today and it went very well. The only problem I'm having is that I can longer Telnet to the machine.The client side returns a "connection closed by foreign host" message or "connection to host lost", depending on the client.The /var/log/messages file contains "FATAL: bad tty" following every telnet attempt.I receive the same error even when trying to telnet to localhost on the local machine.
I'm trying to make an SSH script for my place of employment. This script, I want to go out to the server hostnames we have specified (in another file) and change a users account password. We use Kerberized telnet, so if telnet root hostname fails, I want it to use ssh username hostname and use the old password (specified). If both fail, I want it to ask the user what the port should be and input the port in the ssh command.
But I'm having a issue having it try telnet root hostname and if it fails then, try to ssh in, I have no clue how to have it proceed. Is it an if statement? Here's the telnet failed message: telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
I am doing some R&D on 11g RMAN in oracle at home. i have installed oracle enterprise linux and i have installed oracle software. when i am trying to configure listener, it is error-ed out. i have verified that telnet with the port is not working and i am seeing connection refused error.
I am having trouble connecting to one of the VM's through ssh from base machine all of a sudden. All I get is an error : ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
Saying that the problem is only with ssh would be wrong as I can't seem to telnet or ftp it either. But I can ping it fine.When I try to login to that VM through console, it won't even let me login. The screen would flash for a sec and the same login prompt would reappear. I am not sure what exactly happened as it was working fine before.
i try to connect to a specific ip address with ssh i have installed the ssh server and client. i also try it by connecting with localhost without any problem. But i keep taking this message if to try to connect to the ip address. i checked my hosts.allow and hosts.deny files and all are commented in there (i think tha this should not be the problem).
My system is Ubuntu 11Before I typed "telnet localhost" or "telnet localhost 23". I have make this work below:$sudo apt-get install xinetd$vim /etc/xinetd.conf
Trying 192.168.100.9... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
[Code].....
This last one is strange as I the IP looks odd.
What I am doing wrong, and how do I fix it. After much surfing many mosts say that telnet is not used anymore but I want to use it to test my smtp server.
when i try a telnet to a host like that: telnet 10.10.10.10 1234 i got this: telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused.
1/ does this mean that the problem is not due to a firewall, but that the host 10.10.10.10 doesn't listen on the port 1234? other way does this mean that my firewall is authorizing traffic on the port 1234?
and when i try a telnet on another port like that: telnet 10.10.10.10 1235 i get: Trying 10.10.10.10 ...
in this case this
2/ does this mean that the firewall is blocking the traffic between my host and the 10.10.10.10 on the port 1235?
I am running CentOS 5.1 on VMware on Win 7 On CentOS I added Bridged network adapter and the server is connected to internet without any problems, but when I telnet any server on port 25 I get connection timeout.
Code:
telnet f.mx.mail.yahoo.com 25 Trying 98.137.54.237... telnet: connect to address 98.137.54.237: Connection timed out telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out
I stopped all servers, iptables and sendmail on the linux server and the firewalls on the win 7 but still getting the same error! I added new network adapter ( host-only ) and tried to telnet the win machine from vmware Linux but I got connection refused
Code:
telnet 192.168.71.1 25 Trying 192.168.71.1... telnet: connect to address 192.168.71.1: Connection refused telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
I have a fedora13 server running and for some reason cannot telnet using the hosts ip address. I have disabled the iptables firewall as well as selinux. I have a soap server app that needs to telnet to the fedora13 server. Strange thing is, I can telnet to localhost, just not to hostname or host ip address
I assume that *:* means that any foreign host can connect from any port, but then what does [::]:* mean? and localhost:ipp... what port is ipp? Shouldn't ports be numeric?
We have ubuntu server and bind9 installed and setup.When I issue rndc reload or /etc/init.d/bind9 reload I got this:rndc: connection to remote host closedThis may indicate that* the remote server is using an older version of the command protocol,* this host is not authorized to connect,* the clocks are not syncronized, or* the key is invalid.If I issue named-checkconf /etc/bind/named.conf I got this:/etc/bind/named.conf.local:165: unknown key 'rndc-key'I got the key files in the right location but I'm not sure if we even need to use them.
I want to setup my MySQL database and have MySQL up and running. I sill look for a good editor to add and configure my tables, it appears that MySQL Administrator is the only GUI client available. But when I try to add a foreign key to one of my tables, there appears to be a problem. Both of my tables are InnoDB and both have a primary key. -First I choose the tab "Foreign Keys" on my CLIENT table. -Then I press the green + sign to add a foreign key, it is default named new_fk_constraint. -I choose my table USER in the Refer.Table dropdownbox -And then I should be able to match the FK field and the PK field in the box on the right... but this box is empty. Double clicking shows nothing. I only can drag the user_id of the USER table to it, but have no option to select the foreign column. What the hell is wrong here??? This client is years old and should be really REALLY working IMHO! I was told by a friend that there is no good client available and therefore he is using some Windows program for this...
I have installed Fedora 13 and updated it. I simply cant use ssh to connect to this Fedora, not even locally. I have enabled port22 in firewall settings and nothing. Tried to disable firewall completely and nothing. I have disabled SELinux (not sure if it has something to do with this, but... ) and nothing. Entered "ALL: ALL" in /etc/hosts.allow and still nothing. Dont know what to do anymore.
Here is what happens when I try to ssh to this machine, even from it: [flibio@surf ~]$ ssh localhost warning: Need basic cursor movement capability, using vt100 flibio's password: Authentication successful. Disconnected; connection lost (Connection closed.). Connection to localhost closed. [flibio@surf ~]$
Looking into Services > sshd and it says "This service is dead." So I tried: [root@surf etc]# service sshd restart Stopping sshd: [FAILED] Starting sshd: : OpenSSH_5.4p1 on : FATAL: Creating listener failed: port 22 probably already in use! .....
And still I get disconnected whenever I try to ssh to this machine from anywhere. Services says that sshd is allways dead, even restarting it but I can only restart it by doing a pkill sshd before.
I have recently installed fedora 14 and configured vpn to access my work network. I need to access some windows machines which although I can ping I cannot remote desktop into. When I go to Applications>Internet> Remote Desktop Viewer and put in the machine name (either just the machine name or the FQDN including the domain name) I get an error "Connection to <machinename> was closed".
I am able to telnet to the server via a remote connection, but for some reason, it will not accept mail. ere is the bounce back email I am getting.Quote:This is the mail system at host smtp.mydomain.net.I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could notbe delivered to one or more recipients.

I can ssh to my Fedora 12 without any problem, but every time I sftp to it, it says "Connection closed" and then just kick me out. Is there any configuration I missed here?
I found the issue is that in .bashrc I have following line: bind '"C-a": "cd .. "' As soon as I comment it out, sftp start working. But I cannot explain it.
Ok, a bit of a backround. I am a recent Ubuntu user and made the switch to Fedora being utilized as a server. I am trying to move to a new MUD(text based D&D type game) codebaseI have gotten my code compiled and executed the startup script. The process shows in the ps ux list. As the game it set up it uses port 7500. As the script running I get a "Connection Refused" error when trying to telnet to port 7500. Upon using nmap, I show only my SSH port open (the only daemon I have installed currently) yet no port 7500 open.
I believe this to be an issue somewhere in Fedora as I've had no issue on Ubuntu with past MUD codebases.I have disabled the firewall within Fedora and still no luck. Please bare with me as I'm new to fedora's intricacies.Short Story for those that hate reading long winded posts: A port that should be open by acript known to work on other distro's doesn't seem to open the called port using Fedora
I am facing problem while connection to host (Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 5)) via putty.
when ever i try to connect host machine via putty/ssh, connection is established succussfully but just after few minutes it disconnectes . same is the problem if i connect using VNC. I did't made any configuration changes in recent past, earlier every thing was fine.
I'm a frequent user of the shared connection feature of SSH. Usually i have two or three connections open at the same time through the connection sharing feature, but sometimes when i try to start another i get the message "Shared connection to <server< closed". All the connection that are established through the connection sharing feature are still active and not closed, but when i try to create a new one i get that message.. i've even got that message when i have only had two connections through the shared connection feature.
I've tried to search google but it doesnt seem like anyone else has had the same kind of problem, does someone know why i sometimes get this error ?
As the title implies, I'm having an issue with svn, whenever I try to make an svn action, I get: svn: Network connection closed unexpectedly
I've done some Google-fu on this, and the obvious culprits don't seem to be at work. Specifically, the svn server does not use a nonstandard port, and I'm not using Tortoise SVN or putty, just going directly from the command line. Additionally, I was able to use the server as recently as this morning and no coworkers are having problems.
I have a weird problem with ssh, I am trying to ssh to a solaris server (sparc) running solaris 10 from my Ubuntu box and as soon as it authenticates the password it closes the connection. The box is located on a internal network in a wiring closet with no ability for me to access console but i still have a working ssh session from 2 days ago with what i'm trying to comb through settings and trying to resolve the issue. It also has 2 NIC's and I cannot connect to the either ruling out hardware problem. I checked if there is a limit of the number of active connections and the was no limit. I was able to connect mitiple session till 2 days ago (at one point i had on my machine 8 active ssh sessions to the same server).

I have my desktop computer (running F13) configured to accept ssh over port 22 via the firewall configuration tool. If I type ifconfig -a, this computer, which is running on my wireless network, tells me:
However, if I go to my laptop computer (also running F13) and try and ssh into the desktop, i.e. ssh icthy@192.168.1.100, I get this response:
Code:
ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.100 port 22: Connection refused.
I guess I am confused to what is blocking the connection? Is there another means on F13 other than the default Firewall? I haven't really messed with the network at all. For what it's worth, I am hoping to set things up so I can just ssh into the computer name, (ssh icthy@desktop) eventually, but want to start with the IP. So, can anyone offer a hint as to what I can look for that is blocking port 22?
