I checked my hosts.allow and hosts.deny files. They are both empty.
I attempted to start telnet as a daemon during startup. Here are the steps
I followed as root:
cd etc/xinetd.d
cp telnet /etc/rc.d/init.d
cd etc/rc.d/init.d
chmod 777 telnet
cd etc/rc.d/rc3.d
ln -s ../init.d/telnet S70telnet
when I watch the screen during reboot and telnet tries to start, I get the
following message:
Starting telnet:
VFS: file-max limit 4096 reached
exec: too many open files in system
Unable to load interpreter /lib/ld-linux.so.2
I am able to telnet from my machine but if I try to telnet to it I get a
"connection refused" message.
My file called telnet looks like this:
# default: on
# description: The telnet server serves telnet sessions; it uses \
# unencrypted username/password pairs for authentication.
service telnet
{
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
log_on_failure += USERID
}
When I look at the rest of the executable files in /etc/rc.d/init.d, I see
that most of them have start(), stop() and restart(). I am assuming I
need something like that in my telnet file. Is there documentation around
to help me create this file? Do I have the correct steps to start a daemon
at startup...so once I get a good telnet file it should work for me?
Thanks!

Rebecca,
The reason that they are not running is that they are not launched
as daemons at startup.... For each session that is requested by a client,
an
ftp or telnet process is started by the inetd daemon(you should see this
process running)... So you will not see the processes running unless
someone is actually using FTP or telnet.... Also it may be that
tcp-wrappers is preventing you from telneting or ftping into the box.....
Check you hosts.allow and hosts.deny file... and make sure that you can
resolve the name of the client..
Scott

Subject: Starting Telnet and Wu-ftpd using kickstart
Hello All,
In the %packages section of my ks.cfg file I install telnet-server and
wu-ftpd. After installation, I start up my machine and both programs are
installed but neither are running. Why aren't they running? Is there a
way to automatically start them every time my computer is powered up during
the %post section?
I have a second machine which I installed using the RedHat CDs. I have
both telnet and wu-ftpd on this machine, both are running and I never had
to do anything to get them running. What am I missing with my kickstart?
Thanks!
Regards,
Becky
