Hi!
This bothers me a lot, because I've heard about the strength of
the BSD's net-code.
When I try to login (telnet or rlogin) from my FreeBSD machine at
work to my home machine (both running late September snap) telnet
client says: "Trying <ip-address> Connected to ...". Then it hangs
and eventually times out. ps -axlw on home machine says, that the
new telnetd is in netio state. At first, I was blaming the company's
fire-walls, but I can easily connect to my home machine from Solaris
and Irix boxes, staying on the same net.
The machine at work has no problems connecting to others too.
I tried changibng tcp_extensions (sysctl nw ...RFC ...) with no
success ); Ideas?
