how to enable telnet on linux?
- Thread starter bjmorse
- Start date
in the directory /etc/xinetd.d there should be a file called telnetd. change the line reading 'disable = yes' to 'disable = no', then restart xinetd (service xinetd restart)
As for rshd, you need it installed and can do the same with its file.
**
SSH can accomplish both functions of telnet and rsh.. use it instead!!

Ok, got telnet service running but still can't login:
Ok, with ssh or rsh I don't get any messages, but telnet I do:
Cannot resolve network address for KDC in requested realm while getting initial credentials
I can su to myself, but something isn't quite right with NIS.

Sounds like your kerberos configuration isn't set up correctly (if that's what your trying to use..!)
If you're not going to use kerberos authentication I might suggest that you disable the service using "setup" ...
Otherwise, if you *do* need to use kerberos then check your krb5.conf

1) IF you're trying to log in as "root" this is usually disabled.
2) Telnet isn't very secure, you may want to look into using SSH which may even be installed as it's usually provided for in most distrobutions
