I want to test that leafnode is up and running, so am using telnet:
Wow, you got some wacky ass answers on this.
First off telneting to the port should work as long as you're on the
same box since it's supposed to be running on 127.0.0.1 otherwise known
as lo or the loopback address which should clear up that.
Then I'd look at logs. xinetd can be finicky about starting services if
they aren't configured right. I'd restart xinetd and see what it drops
in /var/log/messages about which services it's activating. It's usually
pretty good about telling you if it's accepting a service though it may
not tell you why it decided a service wasn't up to snuff.
As root a netstat -ptln might tell you if xinetd is holding the port,
but since xinetd is a superdaemon of sorts it might not show it on the
port unless there is a working connection... I'm not sure and have no
desire to install xinetd to find out. :)
