[expert] my telnet server doesn't work (mdk 8.0)

[Luis Duarte]

My telnet server doesn't work in a local network (ethernet). I have 
xinetd running, and the file telnet in /etc/xinetd.d is configured like 
that:

service telnet
{   disable             = no
    flags                 = REUSE
    socket_type      = stream
    wait                  = no
    user                 = root
    server              = /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
    log_on_failure += USERID
}

I didn't anything to file in.telnetd.

Anybody can help me?
thanks
