Subject: Telnet connection fails


We have an RH7.2 Server on the same network with a Win2K Client and an SCO
Server.  All 3 systems can be successfully pinged from the other systems.
However, when we try to telnet to the RedHat box from the Win2K Client, we
get this message:

    Could not open a connection to host: Connect failed

When we try to telnet to the RedHat box from the SCO box, we get this
message:

    Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

When we try to telnet to the SCO box from the RedHat box, we get a
successful login.

We used serviceconf on the RedHat box to enable the telnet server and then
rebooted the RedHat box.  However, we notice with the ps -d command, that
telnetd is NOT running.

Both hosts.allow and hosts.deny are empty.

What have we missed?

Thanks
