well, see what /etc/inetd.conf says. If it does not say:
telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.telnetd
somewhere, or it has a '# in front of it, you'll need to add or
uncomment this.
Also, you should check /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny to
see what's there (and I'd strongly suggest you use them wisely
to help protect your firewall (I think you said this is a
firewall?)).
Finally, make sure tcpd and telnetd are executable:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 20912 Apr 8 2000 /usr/sbin/tcpd*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 30768 Apr 17 2000 /usr/sbin/in.telnetd*
Oh - and make sure inetd is running! (ps axf|egrep inetd)
Well, I've probably forgotten something (and I'm just guessing
as to what happened when you went paranoid ;-)
rc
(I tried using chkconfig on all these, and all I could get it to
say was:
error reading information on service inetd: No such file or directory
So if chkconfig does not work for you don't despair, just look over
what I've said up there...)
