Note that one of the major reasons telnet is not (istalled/enabled) in a
default install (ie you didn't select the telnet-server package) is that
is a totally insecure protocol. You should rather be setting up ssh
(even on a closed network - just so that you get used to using ssh) than
opening you
Thank you for your usefull help.
The Telnet-server wasn't installed indeed and now it works.

Off topic,
Actually, if you wanted any real security, I'd get rid of sudo, install
the Linux trustrees project, and get an actual Linux permission system
that doesn't suck.
Linux needs ACLs. Badly.

The best thing to do for security is to make su only executable by root.
Then get the "sudo" package and install it, giving only a few users the
ability to run "sudo su" and thus change to root.
This makes the telnet server more acceptable, and limits your exposure.
Also, with inetd/xine
Never been able to figure out the logic for that! Invariably the first
thing one does when telnetting into a box to do some work as root is to
su - whats the difference? The password still goes in clear etc - just
seems anoying. Can see the sense in not installing telnetd in some
cases, but tel
machine you are telnetting from.
having an open telnet port just attracts undesired attention :)

Hi All
I did made expert/developement install and all telnet stuff was
installed,only thing what disabled its use was xinitd.
Even xinitd daemon started and telnetd started telnet didn't
work.
But when I started INITD instead of XINITD telnet worked.

Doesn't he need to run telnetd for the service to start?

probably it is not. then find the cd with the telnet rpm or download it from a
mirror site. then install:
rpm -ivh telnet-0.17-7.i386.rpm
now you can use telnet.

Someone could explain me what I've to do to active this service after the
installation?
And Happy New year!
