[wplug] telnet

[John Harrold]

Sometime in October Weber, Larry A assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| If I use telnet to connect to a target system, I will get an error "No route
| to host found" if the target system is not properly set up.  After I correct
| the target I continue to get the same error message until I restart Linux on
| my host system.  Is there a way to reset telnet so I don't have to keep
| restarting Linux?

telnet is probably started by inetd/xinetd. so 

/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart
or
/etc/rc.d/init.d/inetd restart

should do it. 

you'll have to be root to do this. if you are telnetting to a machine then
su'ing to root, you should be really careful.
