Hi!
I've found recently that my server doesn't provide direct telnet acces
to issue tcl commands (standard 23rd port is binded to linux telnetd).
Server has web PHP interface with some hardcoded port. When I tried to
connect to that port with telnet, it showed me a string like "00030003"
and closed the connection, so I determined that it's not the right
telnet port.
How to make D3 server listen to some telnet port?

Probably connect to your server is closed

Be sure You open telnet port (try iptables -L command ) or swith off
your firewall

Hi Penguin,

Looks like you're seeing the handshake of what ever middleware the PHP
interface uses when you telnet to its port. If telnet is cut off and
assuming the server admins will give you command line access then they
are probably using ssh. If you need a good, solid, and free windows
ssh client, google for the word 'putty' and follow the first links that
come up. : )

You could also set up an inetd type service that runs the d3 command
line that logs you into the database. I've had great luck with this
approach. It is also how some D3 middleware programs are rigged to
work.

hth,
