 I have a TRU64 5.1B patch kit 4 ( not 6 sorry!) system on which telnet
and ftp fail
with the following error :-

 A system error occured; error code found in errno

 ftp first gives
 Unknown host ... whether a host name or address was in the command!

  Both commands work OK when invoked by root. So it looks like the
 protections on some file or other are wrong. I have another system patched
 to the same level but that one works OK for both users and root.

 rlogin and other remote commands work on both machines.

Thanks for all your suggestions ...
Protection on /etc/protocols was wrong ... I think was 700 works with 755.
