Hello Ross:

1. The output of the netstat command included the following:

tcp    0    0  *:telnet        *:*                LISTEN
1940/xinetd

What does this mean?

2. The xinetd.conf file is quite short and does NOT contain any reference to
telnet.  However there IS a telnet file in /etc/xinetd.d that contains this
line (among others):

    disable = no

Thanks,
Billy
