Not able to telnet to linux redhat 7.2

["Abhilash Varghese" <avarghese rediffmail com>]

Hi All,

I have installed Redhat Linux 7.2 on an Intel Pentium 4 system on 
a hard disk partition. I am not able to do telnet to the 
localhost. It says permission denied even if I try with root. 
Please tell me if there is any configuration change that I have to 
do.

Thanks in advance,

Abhilash
