Hi all,
I would like to get a telnet server running on my machine. I already
have SSh, I have installed telnet-server, and started xinetd. What else
do I have to do?

Cheers,

Since you have SSH, why do u need telnet?

Can't recall fully... but there should be a file in the /etc/xinetd.d
directory in which you may have to change a yes to no or vice versa so as
to enable it...

Use nmap localhost -p 23 to check if the port is open.

/etc/xinetd.d/telnet
Change "disabled" to no.

I would uninstall telnet - it is horribly insecure.

As root, do:

chkconfig telnet on
service xinetd restart

The first one is either telnet or telnetd, I can't remember.  I would
not use telnet on a production system so I don't have it installed to
check.  Any protocol which passes passwords in plain text is a Bad Thing
(TM).  Anyway, chkconfig will configure /etc/xinetd.d/telnet correctly
and restart xinetd.

The second one is optional, as chkconfig is supposed to restart xinetd
whenever a managed service is activated.  However, I have seen that not
happen, so I usually manually restart xinetd.

Hope this is helpful.

It would be far easier for you to simply pick your favorite spammer
and give them ssh access with the root password.
