just open up /etc/inetd.conf

and put in the line


telnet   stream  tcp    nowait   root /usr/sbin/tcpd   /usr/sbin/in.telnetd


kill inetd then start it up again and the telnet daemon will be up and running

Hello I installed telnet and have it running (i think).  I am new to linux so I am learning.  When I try to connect with windows telnet from command prompt it says it can't connect.  Any Suggestions?  Thanks in advance!

I know it has been several months since this topic came up, sorry about that.

To bigjay517, you need to add a line to /etc/hosts.allow,

telnet in.telnetd : ALL@ALL : ALLOW

That should now allow connections from telnet (assuming you used in.telnetd).

I am just wondering. I am making a custom DSL CD, and just wanted to check, aside from getting in.telnetd, placing it in /usr/sbin, modifying /etc/hosts.allow, and /etc/inetd.conf, is there anything else that needs to be done to get telnet to automatically start at boot (assuming you have network enabled)?
