Many Thanks to the following who responded in my hour of need (Project now back on track): - Jim VandeVegt Thanks for detailed response - Damian Wiest We both got the root cause ok, but I fixed the problem differently - Joseph Saldana Thanks - the info you supplied was useful but not in my Sol8 man page - Victor Engle Thanks - David Harrington Thanks Problem:- Root /.profile $PS1 and $PS2 prompts showing for all telnet connections from all users. Root cause:- Root .profile used by inetd subprocess (telnetd) as inetd was improperly started using: $ /usr/sbin/inetd -s & to start, so I got that piece right. The inetsvc initialisation script does not use the root .profile but the above command does (when run as root). Corrective Action: Stop inetd ($ pkill -HUP inetd / $ pkill -9 inetd) then use the following as root to start inetd without the root environment $ env -i /usr/sbin/inetd -s &. Telnetd does not use/inherit the root environment variables as a result.
