How to enable telnet for ipv4 ?
Firewall is disabled, and I don't see any DROP/DENY rule in iptables.
My xinetd.conf is as below:
defaults
{
# Please note that you need a log_type line to be able to use log_on_success
# and log_on_failure. The default is the following :
# log_type = SYSLOG daemon info
instances = 60
log_on_success = HOST PID
log_on_failure = HOST
cps = 25 30
}
includedir /etc/xinetd.d
