I could telnet from my Linux wokstation to another server without any problem, however I could not telnet in to my Linux workstation. I'm getting:

"telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused."

thanks!!!

Check to make sure telnet is not commentedout in inetd.conf and make sure the machine you are trying to telmnet from is in your hosts.allow table for telnet

example

telnet : 192.168.1.1

It might also be worth trying "telnet localhost" to see if your telnet server is working properly.
