Telnet is usually run from inetd. Check that the telnet line in /etc/inetd.conf is uncommented, and check your /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny. You might need to add a line telnetd: <ip address/netmask pair>:ALLOW #ie telnetd: 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0: ALLOW to /etc/hosts.allow If you have no untrusted hosts connected to your network , you can put ALL in place of the ip address/netmask pair.
