Hi ,
Sorry about the delay in summarizing . I got one reply ( thanks to
Charles Richmond ) to my question about why the telnet daemon died with an
error message of
ttloop :peer died : not owner
His response is included below , along with my original question . It turned
out the problem was that the hostname of the person trying to connect could
not be resolved by DNS due to some bad things going on with our DNS server .
Apparently there is a security check for this built into the telnet server ?
. I fixed our problem by adding that persons host information into
/etc/hosts until we got our DNS problems fixed . Thanks for the help,
Billy

It seems as if you have a system monitor running which is 'checking'
telnetd or you have some sort of hacker's breakin script running.

Hi all,
We are experiencing some problems with ttloop(telnetd) and I checked
the archives but only found questions - not a summary for our problem. Our
logs are showing the following message :
ttloop: peer died: Not owner
Does anyone know the possible causes of this ? - TIA
Billy
