[plug] getting telnet access

[Craig Reynolds]

Ok, I did that hoping problem would be solved, but no such luck. I had a
look for /usr/sbin/in.telnetd, as referenced in the telnet file and it does
not exist, which is odd given that the telnet package is installed.

Hi Craig,

Create a file called telnet in that dir with the following contents:

# description: The telnet server serves telnet sessions; it uses \
#       unencrypted username/password pairs for authentication.
service telnet
{
        disable = no
        flags           = REUSE
        socket_type     = stream
        wait            = no
        user            = root
        server          = /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
        log_on_failure  += USERID
}


/ Ben

I have got /etc/xinetd.d, but not the telnet file.

Sorry, that should've been /etc/xinetd.d, if that dir isn't there, then
you're missing some packages you really need..

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 ? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ § ©raig

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.
