That's not a telnet DoS - you're hitting inetd's builtin connection limit. The default is to shutdown the service if more than 40 instances are started in a 60 second period. *Any* service under inetd will halt if more than the max number of instances are started. Change this line in inetd.conf: telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.telnetd To: telnet stream tcp nowait.256 root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.telnetd And try your "DoS" again. -- Signal 11, BOFH to the UF list and malign.net "I never get to do anything fun." -- Calvin
