I fail to see how that's "OK". Where's "-L" (OK, it's "-E")? Why the in.telnetd, not the conventional telnetd? Try it: 1) apt install inetutils-inetd openbsd-inetd 2) echo 'telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/telnetd -a none -E /bin/bash' > /etc/inetd.conf 3) service openbsd-inetd restart 4) telnet localhost > Then the result from telnet to localhost is in this little screenshot. > http://easthope.ca/TelnetScreenshot.jpg Please copy text to the mail next time.
