Hi,
I created the file /etc/inetd.conf with just 2 following lines
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.ftpd -l -a
telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.telnetd
and when I gave killall -HUP inetd, the system output was
inetd: no process killed
So, I restarted the system, just in case.
It still doesn't work.
