Michele;
thanks for you reply.
this is what i get with telnet:
$ telnet me
<the 'splash' lines>
<the warning about junk characters>
Welcome to ...
Illegal option -u
$
and rlogin:
$ rlogin me
Illegal option -p
connection closed
$
i'm wondering if these programs are trying to launch some other
program (like nc) and providing an incorrect command line option, or
if the message indicates a problem with the client implementation of
the respective protocol.
It appears that nc may be invoked by these, and it does not have either
of these command line options. does nc invoke something else?
also, traceroute works fine to my other local hosts.
thanks again for your product and assistance.
