I need somebody to please help ASAP.
I am trying to configure telnet and everything seems ok but I cannot connect to the server to the server with telnet.
 I have OEL 6.2 on the server.

[root@Exabkp ~]# rpm -qa | grep telnet
telnet-0.17-47.el6.x86_64
telnet-server-0.17-47.el6.x86_64


[root@Exabkp ~]# chkconfig --list telnet
telnet          on

root@Exabkp ~]# lsof -i tcp:23
COMMAND  PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
xinetd  2126 root    6u  IPv6  11260      0t0  TCP *:telnet (LISTEN)


[root@Exabkp xinetd.d]# more /etc/xinetd.d/telnet
# default: on
# description: The telnet server serves telnet sessions; it uses \
#       unencrypted username/password pairs for authentication.

Howdy, Stranger!
