telnet problem

[anis_huq]

Dear friends,

I have two pcs running on linux. Both of them connected by a Hub. And I have the following problems
1. I can SSH, but I can't use telnet in linux. when give the following command:
rpm -qa|grep telnet

the result is:

telnet-server-0.17-35.2.1
telnet-0.17-35.2.1

then when I try to telnet the other pc(10.1.2.98) we have
Trying 10.1.2.98...
telnet: connect to address 10.1.2.98: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused


it must be noted that ping 10.1.2.98 is successful. I have also installed xinetd. I am using Fedora Core 5.


plz ans.

sounds like the telnet service is not running
check the /etc/xinet.d/telnet file to ensure the line that says disable = yes is commented
