also tell me how we configure these in telnet in detail:-
(a) Use LDAP to access ‘Telnet’ service on a LAN server.
(b) Use /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny to allow & deny access to web service to
two hosts on the LAN.
(c) Use ‘iptables’ or similar utility to block TCP SYN segments from a particular IP
address for port 25 using firewall rules.
(d) Use an IDS tool (e.g. tripwire, snort) to track changes in /var/log/messages after every
5 minutes and to monitor the ICMP requests coming to the host.

You are using the wrong client. Use ssh not telnet. Look at your output, you have OpenSSH on port 22.

Try 'ssh 127.0.0.1' (without the quotes) and see what happens.

Telnet is unsecured, and generally not used on nix systems any more. SSH is the secured version, and is well supported.
