By default telnet is disabled. Getting telnet to respond should not be to
difficult the real question is why don't you use ssh instead as it is
secure. I understand you are in a protected environment but I have found
that safe computing starts at home. All I use now is ssh. To start telnet
all you need to do is run the command
[root@hephaistos home]# chkconfig --list |grep telnet
telnet: off
[root@hephaistos home]# chkconfig telnet on
[root@hephaistos home]# chkconfig --list |grep telnet
telnet: on
I recommend you use this instead
[root@hephaistos home]# chkconfig --list |grep sshd
sshd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off
[root@hephaistos home]# chkconfig --level 2345 sshd on
[root@hephaistos home]# service sshd start
Starting sshd: [ OK ]
[root@hephaistos home]# chkconfig --list |grep sshd
sshd 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
You can do anything you used to do in telnet with ssh
]# ssh <server_name>
Take a look at this command and learn to love authorized_keys2
]# ssh-keygen -t dsa

Subject: Telnet with RH8.0
I am not actually sure where to begin this question: I hate to say "How do
I get telnet working with RH8.0" but I guess when push comes to shove, that
is the question.
Right now, I have telnet installed. I can start the daemons. I have two
machines on an LAN, both running 8.0, and I can ping from one to the other
and from the other to the one. I have my firewall set properly to allow
them to talk to each other (or at least I think I do). But when I do a
"telnet main" it says connection refused. I can "ping main" and all is
fine, so I know the Ethernet connection is working. What am I doing wrong?
(He asked, in a whining tone.)
Gosh, it is sure nice to be working with Unix again after all these years of
Windows! Or at least I think it is. I feel like Alice, in "Alice in
Wonderland," who had to keep running just to stay in place! :-) And I
remember when Linus first posted the message regarding Linux and was chewed
out by Andy Tannenbaum! My, how time do fly, and how things do change.
