Re: V5R1M0 telnet server not starting

["Richard Hartmann" <rgh@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Sean,
You say you start TCP in the IPL attributes.  Is telnet starting there
also?  Telnet
server by default is configured autostart with TCP so it may be trying to
start
twice with the IPL attributes and with autostart servers(STRTCPSVR).

Other info on telnet...
And generally, QTVDEVICE jobs are started the very first time telnet is
started
after an IPL or QSYSWRK subsystem is started.   When telnet is started and
ended,
only the QTVTELNET jobs start and end.  The QTVTELNET jobs are the ones
that
start or end port 23(non-ssl) or 992(ssl) that can be seen in netstat in
Listen
when telnet is running.
