Actually, inetd will run telnetd upon demand. If you are on the
internet, you need to make your box more secure by editing /etc/hosts.deny
and /etc/hosts.allow
in /etc/hosts.deny, put
ALL : ALL
in /etc/hosts.allow, put
ALL : xxx.xxx.xxx.
where xxx.xxx.xxx is the network you are on. For example:
ALL : 192.168.15
You can get more restrictive, but this is a good start.
