how do I remove the telnet & ftp dameon from fedora 9.0?
I tried /sbin/chkconfig telnet off but I receive "No file or directory found"
I am using the SAMs version with kernel 2.4. Thanks in advance!!

errr... There is no Fedora 9.0. What is the SAMS version? I assume you bought a book published by Sams publishing and they included a copy of Redhat 9.0? There are a variety of ways to make sure those daemons are off. Since you started down the chkconfig way I'll follow that. At a command prompt, as root user, type 'chkconfig --list|grep ftp', without the quotes. If nothing shows up you have no ftp daemon installed. replace ftp with telnet. If nothing comes up you don't have a telnet daemon installed, assuming the telnet daemon has the word telnet in it. If you want to see what services are on your computer look in the /etc/rc.d /init.d directory. You can use the chkconfig --list command to see all the services on your system and what their setting is for various run levels. Looks like you know how to turn them off so I won't repeat that.

thanks flyfishin, and you are correct about the distribution (SAMS Red Hat Linux Fedora. I appreciate your thoughtfulness and direction.
