Hi,
A telnet configuration file for xinetd looks something like this:
# default: on
# description: The telnet server serves telnet sessions; it uses
# unencrypted username/password pairs for authentication.
service telnet
{
disable = no
flags = REUSE
bind = 192.168.0.200
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
log_on_failure += USERID
}
The "bind =" line is used to limit the service to a particular interface -
you might want to do this, for example, if you have a multi-interface
machine and want to restrict telnet only to the local network. Otherwise,
you can do without it.
Don't forget to send SIGUSR1 to the xinetd process, to get it to re-read it
configuration files. (i.e., kill -USR1 `cat /var/run/xinet.pid`)
If this is ok, you might want to see if you can telnet locally, i.e., telnet
127.0.0.1. If this works, try locally via the IP address of your server...
G'luck,
Rony

I know I did the conf files right, but maybe I am missing something.
Can someone send me configuration files of a working telnet server ?
Reinstalling the server does not do anything good for me!!! No
iptables trouble, no port troubles, all the ftp http ssh etc. are working,
but not telnet....
I guess I need files like /etc/xinetd.conf , /etc/xinetd/telnet ,
and more will be welcome of course.
If you believe despite all of my ftp ssh http and many more ports are open,
but
telnet is firewalled, (did not change conf. about it) any advice on
how to check it would be nice too.
Thanks
Onur Kucuk
