though i dont advocate telnet, here is a simple procedure i
followed to enable my telnet. Most of the steps require root priviledges.
1) make sure you have telnet server and xinetd in your box
2) enable telnet service by "chkconfig telnet on" . this makes
your "disable = no" in your xinetd.d/telnet
3) find that xinetd and restart it. (eg if you're running
runlevel 5, "/etc/rc5.d/S56xinetd restart" ).
4) the reason why your machine is not allowing telnet connection
is probably because you have ipchains running. In that case, you have to
enable connection from a client machine. See ipchains HOWTO. But, I think
you can telnet from the same machine by: "telnet 127.0.0.1" or whatever
its ip address.
