telnet In a typical installation, telnet is not installed. Try this: rpm -qa | grep telnet for verify telnet is installed.
Actually, one would need to look for telnet-server, not for the package telnet. There are 2 packages:
1. 'telnet' allows you to telnet to other boxes, but not into localhost.
2. 'telnet-server' configures the telnet service, which then allows you to telnet localhost.
