A misconfiguration of telnet.

Mine is as follows:

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

The location surely can't be in /usr/etc unless something was moved.
