Hi,

I've installed sshd and putty, I'd like to stop telnet permanently
without removing it.

Here is a Fedora command:

Is there a similar one under Debian?

Many thanks

telnetd is started by the tcp wrapper tcpd. In debian AFAIR you need to
comment the line for telnet in the file /etc/inetd.conf .

best regards

Google for "debian disable telnet". Second hit:

|   Securing Debian HOWTO - After Installation
|       You can disable services by editing /etc/inetd.conf directly,
|       but Debian provides an alternative to this: update-inetd. You
|       could remove the telnet daemon...

It then goes on to give an example that provides the exact command
you require.
