You're using another (old) none Red Hat/Fedora based Linux distribution: On Redhat/Fedora try: chkconfig telnet on service xinetd restart The telnet config file is /etc/xinetd.d/telnet The fact that you're seeing "Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host." Indicates the something is listening on port 23 (telenetd is running), otherwise you'd see something like: "Connection refused" Al. vladak@xxxxxxxxxxxx wrote:
In /usr/sbin there is telnetd. In startup file I pun /usr/sbin/telned but after star I couldn't find it on ps list. Also tried to start inetd on start, and put in /etc/inetd.conf: telnet stream tcp nowait NOLUID /usr/sbin/telnetd telnetd In both cases if trie to connect through telnet there is a message: Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host. What should I do to start telnetd and receive connections on my machine? ___________________________________ MadNet Webmail, http://webmail.madnet.co.yu
