I cannot remember it right now.

After you edit /etc/xinetd.d/telnet, you need to restart it.


What is that command to restart it?
Does anyone remember?

:rolleyes:

Just a guess, but is it

killall -HUP xinetd

?

This'll do the trick:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart

After I edited /etc/xinetd.d/telnet, I restarted xinetd.

I tried two of these command lines:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart
killall -HUP xinetd


It tested it, but it failed.

What might be the problem that is causing this?
:eek:

What change did you make in the file? How did you test?

In /etc/xinetd.d/telnet, I edited disable = yes to disable = no.

I restarted xinetd.

I tested it by telneting into the machine from another machine.

Telnet failed.


I've done this several times on several machines, and they all worked fine...except for this one.

if this is a raq then you must restart inetd not xinetd.
/etc/rc.d/init.d/inet restart

if its redhat >6.2 then its xinetd. I would recommend using ssh instead of telnet unless necessary.

oh yeah and make sure all telnet packages are installed:
rpm -q telnet
I know you need the telnet and telnet-server package as well as xinetd.
