Enabling or disabling the normal Telnet
service in /etc/inetd.conf should have no
effect of what happens when you use a Telnet
client to try to talk to some non-Telnet
port, like, say, port 5555.

Why are you trying to use Telnet to talk to
port 5555 on some server? What, exactly, are
you trying to do, and why?

Dear All

I have fixed the issue, killed the process for (port 5555) and restarted the inetd service by inetd -l


Know the telnet is not hanging for port 5555 and able to import the client from backup servers.

Thanks all of you for you inputs & advices.

Hence closing thread.
