[nos-bbs] A bad piece of pi...

[jerome schatten]

Pi-men…

I have two Pi’s one with jnos on it (the pi runs fine) and one with uronode on it (the pi runs not so good). They are both on the same LAN. This is not a problem with uronode, it appears to be a basic pi problem - to wit:  

With uronode and jnos completely disabled and no iptables firewalls, I cannot telnet into myself on the uronode pi. That is, ‘telnet 127.0.0.1’ yields a busy from that ip.  

Moreover, attempts to telnet into the troubled pi from any place on the lan gives a ‘busy’ from from the this pi.  This pi telnet’s out OK. Both pi’s can ping each other, and both pi’s can access the internet. The troubled pi is a model 2B, the good one is a Pi 1B. Both pi’s have telnet and telnetd installed and both are set to static ip’s.

I have no hair left to pull out. How to proceed?  What more to check?  Did something change in ‘telnet’ between pi versions?

Thanks for any suggestions - jerome ve7ass
