# lsof -i:23
Will show you whats listening (i.e. program name and PID)
Also check your /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny files in case they
are denying acess.
Are you using some other authentication scheme (e.g. PAM) or some
firewall settings (e.g. iptables/ipchains).
You should contact the mailing list for your distribution you are using
as this list is specific to Fedora/Red hat based distros.

Txh for feedback. Guess you are right about everything! But I still don't know how to fix this. Who is listening on port 23, telnetd? If it is, why does it close all connections?
I tried: /etc/xinet.d/telnet restart didn't help
Checked structure of this file and it's same like some I found on web.
What can I try next?
