How to install and configure the telnet on RHEL/Linux?


Steps:

* Install "telnet-server" using "yum install telnet-server"     (Install the telnet-server rpm)

* Edit the file "/etc/xinetd.d/telnet" & change "disable yes" to "disable no"   (Enable the telnet service)

* Execute /etc/init.d/xinetd restart [or] service xinetd restart  (port 23 will be open....)

* chkconfig telnet on   (we can use chkconfig for add xinetd to startup services.)

* telnet localhost 23     (Make sure you can telnet with your local host)
