[techtalk] Telnet trouble with RH7.0

[Angela Nash]

I don't have xinetd on my RedHat 7 system anymore...but I did at one time.
I believe to use the server_args directive you have to also use the FLAGS
directive.  Check the xinetd man page for more information....but I remember
having to do that when I installed TCP wrappers.

Hi,

I'm trying to use telnet with an rh7.0 box and xinetd and I'm having
trouble.  My /etc/xinetd.d/telnet is below.  Using the default file (which
I may have lost by now, when I try to telnet I get "connection refused".
I tried to duplicate the line from /etc/inetd.conf from an RH6.2 box 

telnet	stream  tcp 	nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd	in.telnetd

and when I telnet, I get a "connected" message but no login.  tcpd sits
there (presumably) waiting for the user to be authenticated. 
/var/log/messages shows nothing

Any thoughts?

####/etc/xinetd.d/telnet#####
# default: off
# description: The telnet server. This is the tcp \
# version.

service telnet
{
#	id		= telnet-stream
	socket_type	= stream
	protocol	= tcp
	user		= root
	groups		= yes
        server          = /usr/sbin/tcpd
#        server          = /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
        server_args     = in.telnetd
#        server          = /bin/login
#        server_args     = /bin/login
#        server_args     = -1
 	wait		= no
	disable		= no
}                                                 
######## end telnet ##########
