Maybe the developers of Ryacas on R mailing list can help me further.
According to the direction suggested by one of them,

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.os.linux.networking/msg/656bbead5059fc07

I should change the file

/etc/xinetd.d/telnet

However, there is no such a file, unless I install telnet-server.
