Re: Telnet Problem

telnet is part of xinetd service .
in order to start it:
chkconfig telnet on



remember that telnet is not a secure way to connect to a system.Use ssh instead if possible.

Re: Telnet Problem

telnet service is part of xinetd service

so first install telnet-server rpm package

then go to /etc/xinetd.d directory
locate telnet file

edit the file and set disable=no
restart xinetd service by 'service xinetd restart'

to make it permanent so that every system reboot the service starts run, 'chkconfig xinetd on'

but beware, when you enable xinetd few other unwanted services might also get activated which are part of xinetd.

Gopi
