I have installed telnetd via "dpkg --install" and, after that, I have rebooted the machine. Nevertheless, the daemon was not started. The contents of the directory "/etc/init.d" are: cambados:/etc/init.d# ls -la total 66 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Jun 15 13:39 . drwxr-xr-x 63 root root 4096 Sep 22 13:23 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 840 Jan 12 1999 README -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 512 May 14 1998 anacron -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1164 Oct 24 1998 atd -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1683 Jan 8 1999 bootmisc.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 728 Jun 21 1998 checkfs.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2776 Jan 12 1999 checkroot.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 835 Mar 18 1998 cron -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1046 Nov 7 1998 exim -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1164 Oct 31 1998 gpm -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 281 May 19 1998 halt -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 132 Jun 21 1998 hostname.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 969 Jan 27 1999 hwclock.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 317 Nov 22 1998 isapnp -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1281 Dec 29 1998 isdnutils -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 641 Nov 25 1998 junkbuster -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 968 Oct 18 1998 kerneld -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 843 Nov 17 1998 keymaps.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 630 Jul 17 1998 logoutd -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 818 Jan 30 1999 lprng -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 981 Nov 1 1998 modutils -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 561 Dec 10 1998 mountall.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1056 Oct 5 1998 mountnfs.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3254 Dec 5 1998 netbase -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 410 Feb 13 1999 netstd_init -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 583 Feb 13 1999 netstd_misc -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 322 Jun 15 14:20 network -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1428 Jan 24 1999 nviboot -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 653 Sep 17 1998 omniorb -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 649 May 26 1998 ppp -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2100 Nov 26 1997 rc -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1038 Feb 23 1999 rcS -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 197 Jun 21 1998 reboot -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 252 Jun 21 1998 rmnologin -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 349 Jun 21 1998 sendsigs -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 476 Jun 21 1998 single -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1753 Mar 3 1998 skeleton -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1471 Jan 20 1999 sysklogd -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 394 Jun 21 1998 umountfs -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1128 Jun 21 1998 urandom -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1859 Feb 23 1999 xdm -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 915 Feb 23 1999 xfs -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 501 Jun 15 12:54 xntp3 cambados:/etc/init.d# where de daemon "telnetd" does not appear.
