Assuming you have the telnetd package installed, the telnet server can be enabled/disabled using the 'update-inetd' command. For example:
update-inetd --enable telnet update-inetd --disable telnet What it's doing is editing /etc/inetd.conf, which you can also do manually. See 'man update-inetd' for more information. Enabling or disabling root logins is done with the file /etc/securetty, which is part of the login package. Tom > > Hi > > It seems (to me) that deaufultly telnet server is disaabled in Debian.
