In RHL 7.0 the inetd.conf has been renamed to xinetd.conf and it's in /etc.
Don't know what prompted the name change though. Have'nt used RH7. Anyways,
this procedure should work.
you have to first run
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network start
which starts the network services then
edit the file called /etc/inetd.conf
and check if the telnet service has a hash ( commented out ) in front of it.
If yes remove it. In RHL this is the default. Then run
/etc/rc.d/init.d/inetd start
which runs the so called internet superserver then
you can connect to your own machine yes
telnet 127.0.0.1
If there is some problem with the network configuration you'll have to sort
it out first.
hope this helps
