Well, it would certainly help us if you wrote what is wrong about this
situation, i.e. if you actually _want_ the telnet service enabled or _not_?
- if you want telnetd running, then install package telnetd
- if not, then comment out in /etc/inetd.conf the line with in.telnetd -
the messages will disappear
BTW: if you want telnet, i would suggest switching to SSH - it's more secure
and has a few nice things about it.
hope this helps
