xinetd

Matt,

 Still can't get this to work.
 I copied xinetd.conf into /etc/xinetd.d
 I gave it the name : telnet    (no extention) 
 I edited this file to include the following:

default
{
whaterver default stuff was already here I left
}

service telnet
{
disabled  =no
flags     =REUSE
socket_type  =stream
wait         =no
user          =root
server        =/usr/sbin/in.telnetd
log_on_failure +=USERID
}

includedir /etc/xinetd.d
