The only way that telnetd is being run is from inetd, I haven't set anything up (that I'm conscious to), that would start it in a standalone fashion. From netstat, I can't see a reference to port 23 either (I grepped the output of netstat looking for 'telnet' and '23' and I don't see anything that looks weird to me. Cheers, Steven
