Or possibly it isn't started. As Frank suggested, make sure that telnet is
not available to the outside world (ie, anything outside of your home PCs).
If you need remote access capabilities, try using ssh (specifically
openssh) instead.
The specific file to make sure is there, for Mandrake 8.1, is a file called
'telnet' in /etc/xinetd.d/ (which is where the xinetd configuration files go).
The file should contain:
service telnet
{
disable = no
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/telnetd
server_args = -a none
log_on_failure += USERID
}
If it doesn't, telnet will be disabled.
If you make any changes to any file under /etc/xinetd.d, make sure to
restart xinetd by typing '/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart' or 'service
xinetd restart' from the command line. (Note any editing / restarting of
the xinetd and most other servers must be done as root).
