Hi, in FC6, the telnetd service refuse the connection if the nameserver is down. (see this bug): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=223448 But in this tread: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=221583 people say witch this problem is not a bug .... In previous fc version, if the nameserver is down, the connection is however accepted . Someone can give me more information to this issue?. It will be resolved (or not) in future? Many thanks. -- Dario Lesca <d.lesca@xxxxxxxxxx>
