Default Install Telnet on Red Hat Enterprise Linux

SSH is strongly recommended but just in case if you need Telnet server…

In order to turn Telnet on make sure that you have install the telnet-server and telnet RPMs:
Code:
yum install telnet-server telnet
Open /etc/xinetd.d/telnet
Code:
vi /etc/xinetd.d/telnet
Make sure that disable = yes is changed to read disable = no.
Code:
disable = no
Type following to enable and start service on port 23:
Code:
chkconfig telnet on
chkconfig xinetd on
service xinetd restart
Warning

Again, I recommend that you use SSH to connect to a system instead of Telnet for security purposes.
