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
on the machine you are telnetting from.
having an open telnet port just attracts undesired attention :)

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
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
attention :)

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.

Check out secure Shell (ssh) if you want to remotly login to
first determine if telnet is installed: rpm -q telnet
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.

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.
