Telnet service

The default state of the Telnet service in Cacko is diabled. In order to enable the service, you will have to login as root and modify /etc/inetd.conf. This file is read by a program at boot time to determine which services to run.

Here is what has to be done (I have installed nano as my editor):
> sudo nano /etc/inetd.conf

uncomment the following line (use the one with TCP Wrapper)
telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.telnetd

Save and exit. In order to see the effect immediately, issue the following command:
> killall -HUP inetd


Side Notes:
TCP wrapper make use the rules in /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny for access control with the running Internet services, so it should be more secure if setup porperly.
