Well thanks Sean , for asking that question.
I tried telnet 127.0.0.1 (because the output of ifconfig -a
assured me that the loopback was up and running)
and
the answer (to telnet 127.0.0.1)
was in the negative : "Could not telnet host".
And then I did a whereis telnet
whereis: /usr/bin/telnet
and a whereis in.telnetd
whereis: something/inetd , if I remember rightly.
I am actually confused on how to read the situation.
Thanks and Regards,
Shyam.
