A1200 telnet problem

[kotnik]

Hi there.

I'm trying to telnet into my A1200 so I could install sshd and start poking Montevista

But, strange things happen.

I've installed netcontrol_0.2b package and with it I turned inetd. USB mode is usbnet. Phone's IP is 192.168.1.2.

On the computer side:

# ifconfig usb0
usb0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 6e:4c:34:33:4a:d6  
          inet addr:192.168.1.1  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.168.1.2     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 usb0
192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 usb0

$ nmap 192.168.1.2

Starting Nmap 4.62 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2008-11-19 10:03 CET
Interesting ports on 192.168.1.2:
Not shown: 1714 closed ports
PORT   STATE SERVICE
23/tcp open  telnet

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 1.790 seconds

But when I try to actually get to the phone, this happens:

$ telnet 192.168.1.2
Trying 192.168.1.2...
Connected to 192.168.1.2.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

Do you have any idea? I don't. Maybe I need to install some other package?

I use something called MOTnet I found somewhere on these forums. I connect phone to pc, in modem mode, then click the MOTnet icon. then in cmd i type "telnet 192.168.16.2" - this may not be the same for you! then it asks for a login password and i type root, and viola. This is on windows XP though.

I get the same error when trying to telnet, but cygwin ssh to the ming works. I guess they want the more secure method. I installed ssh on the Ming without using telnet, obviously. I think I used a combination of mass storage mode and ekonsole to set up the keys. I say "I think" because I did it a year ago and am not sure.

Thanks for replies

I'll try to find and use MOTnet or try to setup SSH without working telnet.

I use this package --> http://www.motorolafans.com/forums/a...smbd_inetd.zip

to telnet to my phone successfully. Something doesn't look right in what you said before, kotnik. You mentioned that your phone's IP is 192.168.1.2. However, I'd expect it to be 192.168.16.2. Did you mistype the IP, perhaps?

[kotnik]

No, that's the IP, at least that what netcontrol says

And if I nmap it, I can clearly see telnet open.

I'll try that package you suggested me, and see if it works for me. Thanks

hi @all
for winzoz and linux:
first install MOTnet.pkg (just remove .zip and install)
better if you install busybox so you can run more command under win (like vi free ecc.)

for linux:
put the phone in USBmode -> modem
connect with usb cable the phone to pc
In linux you need the zaurus modules (in sidux there is):
# modprobe zaurus
in the phone now clic icon MOTnet
open a shell and run like root:
# ifconfig usb0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 mtu 900
# telnet 192.168.1.2
when asked for login just insert root

for win ( like Casper sayd ):
put the phone in USBmode -> modem
connect with usb cable the phone to pc
in the phone now clic icon MOTnet
open a terminal -> start run insert cmd
telnet 192.168.16.2
when asked for login just insert root
after connect may be better if you installed busybox and you don't find a command, make a try with busibox:
# busybox free (just like es.)

For anyone who gets to telnet successfully in Linux, could you please write a complete tutorial on how to? I dont have a linux machine, not experienced
something on the lines of this: http://www.motorolafans.com/forums/e...t-into-e6.html

There's something broken in the netcontrol package, at least it was on mine. I had the same problem (also run linux, but that shouldn't matter).

Netcontrol's inetd.conf file points looks in the wrong location for tcpd and in.telnetd.

netcontrol/inetd/inetd.conf:

# <service_name> <sock_type> <proto> <flags> <user> <server_path> <args>
#ftp	stream	tcp	nowait	root	/usr/sbin/tcpd	in.ftpd
telnet	stream	tcp	nowait	root	/mmc/mmca1/.system/QTDownLoad/inetd/tcpd	/mmc/mmca1/.system/QTDownLoad/inetd/in.telnetd

The tools it needs are actually in /mmc/mmca1/.system/QTDownLoad/netcontrol/inetd/

There are a number of ways to fix this:
1. Extract netcontrol_0.2b.pkg (.pkg == .tar.gz), edit inetd.conf to reflect the correct path, repackage it, and reinstall to your phone
2. Create /mmc/mmca1/.system/QTDownLoad/inetd and copy tcpd and in.telnetd there
3. Edit inetd.conf using vim under eKonsole

@MetalWanderer
Thanks for check netcontrol_02b.pkg and repoting bug and solution.
I don't check.
Just installing motnet.pkg run fine without need for netcontrol.
