xinetd not initializing correctly 2

[LawnBoy]

Every time I reboot (SuSE 9.0) I have to issue

/etc/init.d/xinetd restart

in order to get telnet serving (I know telnet's not secure, etc. but I must use it). What might I have misconfigured?

Does SUSE have chkconfig?

 

[LawnBoy]

Yes. What should I look for?

chkconfig --list | grep -i inet

chkconfig --level 35 inetd on

chkconfig --list | grep -i inet gives me
xinetd 0ff 1ff 2ff ... 6ff (all off)

chkconfig --level 35 inetd on returns
Unknown option: level

Issuing chkconfig by itself, there's an entry that says
xinetd off

I'm assuming this means xinetd is simply not starting on boot. How can I cause it to autostart?

 

[ericbrunson]

Try just "chkconfig xinetd on

That did it. Thanks!
