Is the telnet-server-0.16-4mdk package installed? - just because the lines are in the config files does *NOT* mean it is. You have to manually install the telnet-server package. Use kpackage and check that you have it. This was a bad move on Mandrakes part (prob under the guise of security, misguided coz they didnt supply anything else to provide the functionality, or document it properly!) to remove it as it is one of the standard unix packages and it keeps catching even experianced people out. Would have been better to include it in the base install and disable it in the inetd files (hint hint Mandrake!) BillK
