Hi there.
In your inetd.conf there should be a line like this :

telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/telnetd telnetd

in one line.
This is a copy from a HP-UX inetd.conf.
Change the directory for your telnetd in this line and it should work.

Restart the inetd daemon ( parameters from the man page ).

Thanks Sir

Sir i am using linux 6.2 in local machine. It is not in the Hp machine.There is no word telnet in the "inetd.conf" file.
Second thing is that there is no file "telned" in the linux system.but telnet file is avaiable in the /usr/bin directory.i linked that file in /usr/sbnin directory. But it did not work.

I put this line in my inetd.conf file
telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/telnet telnet
subsequently restart my machine.but it didnot work.

Ping is proper working.When I installed oracle in my linux machine. Subsequently connect to client machine,it works properly.

Give me another solution.what should i do to start telnet in my client machine as well as server.

With Rgds
Deepak

Hello,

it seems you'll have to install the "rpm" for the telnet-daemon (telnetd) first!
"telnet" is the *client*, NOT the *server*...

HTH,

Sounds like the Linux box was set up as a workstation vice server. As Wodish advises, the telnetd package needs to be installed. Merely adding a line in inetd.conf for telnet won't solve the problem.

If you still have the distribution CDROMs, cd to the RPM directory on the CD and run the command Wodish lists. If the install bombs on the analysis phase, at least it'll tell you what else will need to be installed to make it all work.

Happy telnetting.
