Open a terminal and type "killall -HUP Inetd"(This stops all incoming
connections.
Go to the /etc directory and there should be a file named inetd.conf. Edit
this file. You're looking for a line that reads:
#telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.telnetd
It is uncommented by the #, so take it out. If the line isn't there at all,
just add without the #.
Go back to your terminal and type inetd(restarts incoming connections)
This will allow you to telnet in.
HINT: there should also be an ftp line there if you want to enable that too!
Good Luck and let us know!

Subject: [newbie] Can't telnet

Why is it that I can not telnet into my Linux box? I can ping the linux box
from any computer and even ping other computers from Linux. But, every time
that I try to telnet into it I get an error message. It says something to
the affect that the connection was rejected. ???
Thanks,
