Alternatively, you can edit the correct configuration text file
(one of the strengths of Linux). In this case, it is:
/etc/xinetd.d/telnet
By default, telnet service (controlled by tcpwrappers, thus the
file in xinetd.d) is turned OFF. This is seen by the line
in this file:
disable = yes
To ENABLE telnet, you then comment out this line by simply inserting a #
sign at the start of the line. This is exactly what the above
chkconfig command does for you.
