On redhat 8 You can also just type "chkconfig telnet on" it will start xinetd if it wasn't started (and add it to the default runlevels if it wasn't) and it will modify the "disable = no" in the /etc/xinetd.d/telnet, and if xinetd was already running it will HUP xinetd to tell it reread the config files. chkconfig --list will show you the services and their status -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
