Telnet server

By means of yum, I installed telnet server, but I forgot how to start it. Hopefully, I recall that telnet daemon is controlled by xinetd. Just run
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd start

will put telnet daemon in service. Of course, it is necessary to tell xinetd that telnet should be enable by "chkconfig" or direct edit /etc/xinetd.d/telnet.

One more trick I made is to change the default port 23 of telnet to other alien port number. This is done by editing /etc/services.
