Quite simple.
First edit the /etc/inetd.conf file and uncomment out the telnet line.
Second, type ntsysv from the command prompt as ROOT and then select inetd.
Reboot and you have telnet and inetd working.
For security.....
edit the /etc/hosts.deny file and add this line.
ALL:ALL
then edit the /etc/hosts.allow file and add this
in.telnetd:XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
Where XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is either the IP of a machine on your internal
network or some external IP.
What this does is deny all telnet requests except the one you specify.
:-)
Hope this helps.
