telnetd won't run

[Albert Graham]

You're using another (old) none Red Hat/Fedora based Linux distribution:


On Redhat/Fedora try:

chkconfig telnet on
service xinetd restart

The telnet config file is /etc/xinetd.d/telnet

The fact that you're seeing

"Escape character is '^]'.

Connection closed by foreign host."

Indicates the something is listening on port 23 (telenetd is running), otherwise you'd see something like: "Connection refused"
