I think it´s the same problem I had with Mandrake 7.0: unlike other
distributions, there are two telnet rpm´s: "telnet-server" and "telnet-
client" and only the client is installed in an standard installation.
After you installed the server rpm, uncomment the following line in "/etc/
inetd.conf":
telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.telnetd
Then make sure you allowed access to telnet in "/etc"hosts.allow":
in.telnetd xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Should work then.
