I know nothing :( telnet is killing me


telnet localhost
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike)
Kernel 2.4.20-8 on an i686
login: -h for super-user only

a) don't know how to set rights for not super-user only and if it help to solve a problem -> b)

b) I have to configure "adiXein HFC" for HylaFax to use MS Exchange address book - all is done but ... adiXein needs telnet to work correctly , but I cannot connect to my linux machine using telnet

I'm so confused ...
xinetd starts telet
telnet is also on the services list

but when I open services window and click on telnet I can see information that telenet needs to be set under xinetd to be started , in my opinion xinetd.conf is fine and should start telnet service

in addition I think that xinetd.conf dosn't include configuration from xinetd.d folder

maybe I'll paste here my configuration cos nothing smart comes to my midnd ...

#
# Simple configuration file for xinetd
#
# Some defaults, and include /etc/xinetd.d/

# defaults
# {
# instances = 60
# log_type = SYSLOG authpriv
# log_on_success = HOST PID
# log_on_failure = HOST
# cps = 25 30
# }


service telnet
{
disable = no
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = nobody
groups = yes
server = /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
log_on_failure += USERID
}

service swat
{
port = 901
socket_type = stream
wait = no
only_from = 127.0.0.1
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/swat
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = No
groups = yes
}

includedir /etc/xinetd.d

I don't know if it's like this...

i've always thought that you can connect over telnet with all the users which you have on your linux machine.

eventually your firewall disturbs your telnet session.
you can stop it with /etc/init.d/iptables stop.

I've changed in telnet section:

user = nobody ---> user = root

and right now I can telnet linux host but ...

all users including root cannot login ("Login incorrect" , than "Connection to host lost")
