Re: telnetd

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.

download the rpm of telnet after intall rpm.
verify with utility interface gnome for rpm aplications.

Re: telnetd

I'm pretty sure that 7.1 and higher come with telnet disabled by default.
Look me up on the Ars forums (Neptunes)- http://arstechnica.com and http://arstechnica.infopop.net

Re: telnetd

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.
Ye who thinks he has a lot to say, probably shouldn't.

Re: telnetd

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,
