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,

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. Thomas

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