Have you hardened the system? Is there any security agents running on them?

Simon,
I remember facing a similar issue, try telneting with the IP - for starters
..also make sure, name resolution on both the systems (machine telneting
from and to) are fine. Apparently, telnet tries to resolve names and waits
for a time out, you get the SunOS banner and then after a long pause you so
get the login prompt.

For testing, manually add an /etc/hosts (On Sun box) entry on the server and
/winnt/system32/drivers/etc/hosts (on PC) file and try it.

Let me know if it works.

Hi!
im having trouble login on to a Sunbox using telnet.

When i telnet to the box it comes op with the SunOS 5.7 in the telnet
session but it doesnt show login promt. I have cheked the inetd.conf and all
networks settings looks fine. I have tried from different machines.

The onlye i can connect is from a PC with xwindows or from the console and
with ftp. Applications are running normally on the box. I suspect some kind
of permission problems, but doesnt know which files to look for.

any suggestions would make me very happy.
