Thanks to all who replied. I did make one mistake in original message, It was /etc/inetd.conf where I uncommented telnet, not /etc/services. My mistake, sorry.
It WAS restarting inetd, kill -HUP <inetd PID>, that got it pass the connection refused problem Now I get : Connected to 192.168.2.254. Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host. I have added ttyp0 to /etc/securetty, but that should only be needed to login as root. And I don't even get that far, to login prompt I mean. hosts.allow contains sh-httpd: 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0 in.telnetd: 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0 in hosts.deny I even commented out #ALL:PARANOID AND #ALL: ALL I check messages file and it only lists:the telnet connection attempt, nothing about it being denied, errors, etc. What am I missing now? What other piece of obscure piece of information am I missing? Is there an error file that actually tells me WHY it was closed? This is a thought, could it be the in.telnetd app? I mean it came from a Slackware 8.0 running kernel 2.4.16. I don't remember what Eigerstein uses. could that be a problem?
