Apparently my redhat based machine has no inetd ! Is this possible ?
I guess this explains why it does not respond to telnet.

All this does is enforce the already-existing idea that Red Hat is not Debian
is not Slackware and one Linux is not like the others. From an administraiton,
packaging, or installation standpoint, this would be correct. But to spend

Er, this might be too late, but all you have to do in that case is install
the inetd package from the Red Hat CD-ROM.

Make sure that telnet-server is installed.
