RE: telnet-server question

["Gerry Maddock" <gerrym futuremetals com>]

Hey Forrest, I just read /var/log/messages and found nothing referring to
xinetd or telnet rather than the usual bootup and shutdown messages. Here is
my /etc/initd.d/telnet file:

# default: on
# description: The telnet server serves telnet sessions; it uses \
#       unencrypted username/password pairs for authentication.
service telnet
{
        flags           = REUSE
        socket_type     = stream
        wait            = no
        user            = root
        server          = /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
        log_on_failure  += USERID
        disable         = no
}

Can you post your /etc/xinetd.d/telnet file?
Does /var/log/messages have anything to say about the subject?

Forrest
