I had a friend show me this cool little telnet trick but i forgot how to do it.
This is what happened...my friend wanted to show me how to edit a text file. So he opened up telnet, then told me to open up telnet. He did some command and somehow I got a question of some sort to allow him to do something, and presto, i saw him typing on my telnet. Kinda like a vnc type thing, but it wasn't vnc. It was straight telnet usage.
You have the telnet server running on your Linux box.
If you want to turn it off, edit the /etc/xinetd.d/telnet file
and change disable = no to disable = yes
