Just upgraded to Rh7.0 and am unable to telnet into the RH7 box.
I have been trying to figure out the xinetd thing but to no avail.
I checked and the ftp rpm is installed. Hosts.allow and hosts.deny are
fine. What am I missing here?

Hi
I configured xinetd to allow telnet connections to my server with this
config file:

# /etc/xinetd/telnet.conf
service telnet
{
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
bind = 192.168.0.1
log_on_failure += USERID

Quote:}

you may need to modify the server line to point to your telnet daemon.
also adjust which IP address you want the telnet service to be listening
on, with the bind value.
Note that xinetd re-writes /etx/xinetd.conf when it starts up, using
information gathered from the config files in /etc/xinetd/.

Well I finally figured out what was going on...because I installed RH7
as a workstation it does not install ftp, finger, etc. Your suggestion
to add an entry in /etc/xinetd.d for telnet would have worked, but I
decided to do a server installation instead.

Just wanted to post a follow-up in case someone else runs into this
problem.

Thanks again.
