telnet2

[Ted Gervais <ve1drg fox nstn ca>]

Wondering something here..

I just set up another telnet port and it is called telnet2.  It was added 
to the /etc/services file just like the normal 'telnet' port.
The only thing different is that it uses port 24.

As well a new telnet file was constructed in /etc/xinetd.d, and it is 
called telnet2; same as what is in the services file. And the last
line, or at least the one pointing to the executable file shows it as 
calling /usr/sbin/in.telnetd.   All looks fine. And then chkconfig
was run where telnet2 was installed and turned on.

All seemed fine until it was tried to be used. I telnetted to port 24 and I 
got back ' Failure with ...:telnet2:Connection refused'..

What does that mean. 'Connection refused'.  That sounds like maybe the port 
is not even there?  Is there something else that needs to be
done to make  port 24 work??


Any thoughts please..
