Hi,

I want to use the telnetd server of the busybox in an embedded system. I launch telnetd and when I want to connect to my embedded machine, I get:

Trying 192.168.0.54... Connected to 192.168.0.54 (192.168.0.54). Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host.

I suppose, something is missing, but what?

A login program and/or shell ?

Busybox telnetd can run with login (#define CONFIG_LOGIN) or directly to a shell. usually /bin/login and /bin/sh

regards,

Thanks, but I just use /bin/sh for the moment, but I' m wondering if there is a config file or something else, because it works on my x86 system with a Mandrake10.1 distribution, but doesn' t with a PowerPc.
