On the Module

1. Create a file called inetd.conf in the /etc directory and add these lines:

ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/lib/inetutils/ftpd ftpd -l
telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/lib/inetutils/telnetd telnetd

 

2. Add these lines to /etc/securetty at the end of the file.

pts/0
pts/1
pts/2
pts/3
pts/4
pts/5
pts/6
pts/7
pts/8
pts/9

 

3. Create a symlink to the login app for Telnet to use:

ln -s /bin/login /usr/bin/login

start inetutils

$ /usr/lib/inetutils/inetd

 

4. Create a user with these commands:

root@g2c-43-24:~# useradd telnet
root@g2c-43-24:~# passwd telnet

 

5. Change a password for Telnet. Enter the new password (characters: minimum 5, maximum 8). Use a combination of upper and lower case letters and numbers.

New password:
Re-enter new password:
