Hi,

check if telnet in /etc/xinetd.d/telnet is disabled. If so, change to disable=no and restart xinetd by /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart.

Hope this helps.

ok , the the answer of Vikas is ok.
if the telnet not this in /etc/xnet.d
download the rpm of telnet after intall rpm.
verify with utility interface gnome for rpm aplications.

I'm pretty sure that 7.1 and higher come with telnet disabled by default.

The above anwers are correct, but to clarify,
in.telnetd does not run as a daemon. It should be spawned as needed by xinetd or inetd (before Redhat 7.0). And yes, it is disabled by default with xinetd, so you do need to go into /etc/xinetd.d and edit the telnet file there to say disable = no.

Thanks for the response. I have enabled the telnet service. Now the problem is Iam able to telnet locally and not via network. When I try to telnet from Windows NT Workstartion, Iam getting an error "Connect failed".
For your Information, Iam able to ping the Linux Server.

Please guide.

Thanks,
