[plug] getting telnet access

[Craig Reynolds]

I dont appear to have /etc/xinet.d/telnet, nor the directory /etc/xinet.d.

Should I create the telnet file in /etc/xinetd.d ?

Have you told xinetd to run the telnet-server?

Because in 7.2 it isn't enabled as per default.. open the file
/etc/xinet.d/telnet with your favourite text editor and change the
appropriate line from disable to enable (you'll see it when you open
it).  Just killall -HUP xinetd and it should then listen on port 23 for
telnet then.

I had forgotten it actually, but the problem is still there, my
connection is refused.
