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
# }
