Only because telnet is an intrinsically insecure protocol.

I can only think that your problem is that you are trying to use xinetd. It is probably xinetd which is broken. Woody I really an inetd based system, not xinetd. Basically I think you have a broken xinetd and not a broken telnetd. > Any other suggestions? Anyone? Go back to using inetd as is normal for a stock woody box. If not then I would be willing to help since I have used that configuration for years. I have not ever used xinetd and know little about it. Bob
