1. I tried this with ubuntu feisty fawn and it din’t work, it says

   sudo: /etc/init.d/inetd: command not found

   I have telnetd installed

2. sudo /etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd restart

   :)

3. Running Telnet Server differs as per Linux OS you use.
   If your Telnet server is not starting or you find “Connection refused…” try this for DEBIAN LINUX

   sudo /etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd restart

   Now try telnet..

   SMile now :-)

4. I’ve just installed Ubuntu Server 7.04 as LAMP & set the /etc/inetd.conf file as specified & when I try to restart the process:

   sudo /etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd restart

   I get “command not found” What have I done wrong?

   tnx,

   1. Install by command sudo apt-get install openbsd-inetd and then put the command sudo telnet ip-address it will work

5. that means that openbsd-inetd isn’t installed =)

6. sudo apt-get install telnetd

7. I would like to run telnetd, but only
   on one ethernet interface (so that telnet
   will be refused on every other interface).

   Is there any advice on how to do this,
   or hidden pitfalls? (Apart of course
   from running telnet at all. But there’s
   one network which i think is safe.)

8. hmm, I can’t connect to anything :O it’s just saying “Trying [ip_adress]…”
   after that, I get a timeout :/

9. It works!

10. Thank YOU

11. Gracias amigo, me saco de apuros

13. It really works… thanks a lot dude.. I’m trying this from a month ago and it was not working.

14. while trying this command : sudo /etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd restart
    I got this message:
    * Restarting internet superserver inetd
    * Not starting internet superserver: no services enabled

    However I have installed the telnetd successfully by using this command:
    sudo apt-get install inetutils-telnetd

15. Hi,
    I ran following two commands on my laptop running edubantu
    $ sudo apt-get install telnetd
    $ sudo /etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd restart

    Then I went to my Windows XP laptop and tried to ping/telnet the edubantu IP address but it does not recognize that.
    Am I missing some thing.
