[NCLUG] help, network connections

[John L. Bass]

	There is no /etc/inetd.conf. This is RedHat 7.1, if that helps.

That helps a lot. RedHat 7.x systems use xinetd which is configured by
individual control files under /etc/xinetd.d, one per service. On these
systems the telnet server package is:

	telnet-server-0.xxxxx

which you will need to install. Be sure to "chkconfig telnet on" to enable.

next disable ipchains for a bit:

	sh /etc/rc.d/init.d/ipchains stop

and then test. RH7.1 installs one of two firewall configs that may be
blocking your access. Once you get it working try it again after turning
the FW back on:

	sh /etc/rc.d/init.d/ipchains start
