I am running Debian 2.2., a new installation (my first). I would like to add telnet to the services of inetd.conf. The file cautions me to use only update-inetd to do this. My general question is 'How do I use update-inetd to add telnet to my inetd.conf services?' I have read the update-inetd man page and the associated man pages and it is still not clear.
