[wplug] Telnet Server

[Poyner, Brandon]

Check to see if your machine is listening for connections on the telnet
port.  

$ netstat -an | grep 23
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:23              0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN

If you see tcp port 23 in a LISTEN state then you know that something
(presumably telnetd) should be accepting connections on the telnet port.
If the local address is not 0.0.0.0 then it is not listening on all
available addresses on the server.

When you say reran, do you mean stopped and restarted or did you type 
xinetd at the command prompt?
Depending on the answer to that, you might want to run
/etc/init.d/xinetd 
restart
