You cannot 'ps' for the telnetd process, because it does not
run unless it is started by inetd. That will not happen until
you open up a telnet link. Since your telnet connection is not
working, you cannot ps for it. I think that netstat is what
you would like to use....
As I recall, Mandrake does not install the telnet server package
by default. All other distros, 'telnet' includes the client and
the server. Mandrake did until 6.0. After that, the client
and server are separate packages. Check it out. A
Assuming it is installed, check /etc/inetd.conf and find out
which binary gets called for telnet. Check to see that it is
there in the location called for. Test it from withing the
machine; ie, telnet to yourself.
