Are you even starting xinetd? You need to have telnet enabled in the /etc/xinetd.d directory and you need to have xinetd started. To start xinetd at boot time you'll also need an S56xinetd symlink from /etc/rc.d/rc3.d and /etc/rc.d/rc5.d to /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd.
You can check whether xinetd is currently running by doing: /etc/init.d/xinetd status If it's not running, try starting it with: /etc/init.d/xinetd start Use ps auxww | grep xinetd to make sure that worked. If it didn't, then check /var/log/messages for clues. Once it's running, you can also send a HUP to it's process in order to get it to dump its state into /var/run/xinetd.dump. That'll give you a good idea of what services are available through it. You can normally also see some of this info in /var/log/messages as part of the output of xinetd's startup process. -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Iribarne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2002 4:58 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: in.telnetd help please. Yes.. Sorry about that. I am running RH7.2 I already had the telnet file there and setup. So I am using xinetd to configure this but when I check my syslog it doesn't tell me it is starting up that service. I am going to try and set the logging to trace to see if I can get a more descript answer.
