rwhois under FC3 problem...

[Peter Kranz]

Rwhois does not appear to respond although it is running.. Can anyone shed
some light on what might be the issue here..

Starts up great:

Mar 10 14:29:47 svr-365 rwhoisd: rwhoisd startup succeeded

Shows its listening:

[root at svr-365 log]# netstat -a | grep rwho
tcp        0      0 *:rwhois                    *:*
LISTEN    

[root at svr-365 log]# ps -ef | grep who
rwhoisd   9761     1  0 14:29 ?        00:00:00
/usr/local/rwhoisd/sbin/rwhoisd -V -s -c
/usr/local/rwhoisd/etc/rwhoisd/samples/rwhoisd.conf

But it doesn't appear to work properly:

[root at svr-365 log]# telnet localhost rwhois
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

No drops in the firewall log etc..
