start and stop telnet service on Linux
I googled it and found this information:
To enable the telnet service, login to the server as the root user account and run the following commands: Code:
# chkconfig telnet on So, how do we... [1] start and stop telnet service on UNIX / Linux? [2] specify configurations / settings for the telnet service to accept or deny connections and so on...? |
what messages is it giving, can you post the messages.
Which distribution are you using? Most probably chkconfig is not installed. Post the output of both the commands here. |
Why don't you just block the port thru iptables or firewall built-in on your distro in order to deny telnet connection
|
Why you try to use telnet instead of ssh? telnet not secure than ssh
|
Do you know for sure that telnet has been installed on your system? If not then install it. Also look for the telnet file inside xinet.d and see if it has been disabled. By default it is. You need to enable the service. But for security reasons, use ssh. Telnet is highly insecure. Do you have any specific reason for using telnet?

So, you know now that I am testing it on my Linux box and learning from my experience I had at the interview. ;) |
You need to turn on the xinetd service for telnet. Telnetd is the daemon that you can specify to allow or deny connections using tcpwrappers.
