[bug-inetutils] inet utils not working on my fedora system.

[John Smith]

Hi,
    Earlier i had posted an enquiry on inet utils on ARM board.


   Now, i want to make sure if inet utils works on my system (intel
PC) running on fedora.

    i closed (killed) the xinetd and all other services like telnetd,
ftpd, talkd and so on that come with the usual Linux distribution.

  i closed (killed) xinetd also. 


   I made sure they are not running through ps.


  Now i compiled inet utils for my system.

  
   i ran ./inetd and tried connecting to my system using telnet client.



# ./inetd/inetd -d

i got the following messages in my shell.


/usr/local/etc/inetd.conf:ADD : telnet proto=tcp, wait=0, user=root
builtin=0 server=/usr/sbin/telnetd
