On a simple setup, check your /etc/hosts.allow. It will contain:
in.telnetd:ALL

Sorry,

I hate having to ask stupid simple questions but I can't seem to work it out!

How do I allow people to telnet to my computer?

This is what is in my inetd.conf file:
#
# These are standard services.
#
ftp     stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  in.ftpd -l -a
telnet  stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  in.telnetd
#

telnet is uncommented... so why doesn't it work?

There must be something simple I'm missing... anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
        Tom
