should resemble

/home/rex # netstat -anp | fgrep :23
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:23              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      
395/inetd           
IPX        0      0 FE2AA8C0:2340              -                               

maybe without the IPX line....

Still no joy ?
OK then look at the system interface...

/home/rex # ps -ef | fgrep inet | fgrep -v fgrep
root       395     1  0 Oct09 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/inetd
/home/rex # strace -f -p 395 -o /tmp/err &
[1] 19713
/home/rex # telnet localhost
Trying ::1...
Trying 127.0.0.1...

[1]+  Done                    strace -f -p 395 -o /tmp/err
/home/rex # vi /tmp/err
/telnetd

feel free to choose your preferred flavour of commands...

Cheers, Rex
