no "telnet" file in /etc/xinetd.d

Hi,

I have searched the forum for telnet problems and I learned and it is clear to me that I should use SSH and not telnet ... and I will later on. But for now I should enable telnet...

The problem is that most of the answers in this forum instruct to edit the /etc/xinetd.d/telnet file and change disable=yes to disable=no , but this file is not present in this directory !
The rpm telnet-0.17-25 is installed.

The system is redhat9.0

best regards, thanks,

evg.

You need telnetd rpm, the telnet rpm is just the client.
