Enable with:

chkconfig krb5-telnet on

also check /etc/xinetd.d/krb5-telnet for configuration

Propper command is:
chkconfig --level 345 krb5-telnet on

In case you don't have a krb5-version of the telnet use:

chkconfig --level 345 telnet on

Make sure the 'telnet-server' package is installed (isn't usually these days), then 'chkconfig telnet on'.

You'll also have to make sure that 'xinetd' is configured to start, with 'chkconfig xinetd on'.

This assumes you're using RedHat/Centos/Fedora or SuSE/OpenSuSE.

To enable telnet, edit w/c type of linux that you have i.e

/etc/xinetd.d/telnet (for mandrake)
/etc/xinetd.d/krb5-telnet (for RHEL 3)

under "disable" field change yes to no

disable = no

then restart the service.

# service xinetd restart

hope this helps.
