How to set up Telnet on Suse?
I am trying to use telnet to access a linux box. I know I should be using SSH (which I use personally), but i have to use telnet. How do I configure the linux box to accept the telnet request.
I am using Suse

Thanks for any help

Search the dvd for telnet - you see an rpm like telnetd or telnet-server. Install that using YasT.

thanks rikxik,
I have tried :
rpm -qa|grep telnet
and the output i got is:
telnet-1.2-14.4

So,it means telnet package has been installed in my OS then
why i am not able to use telnet?

Because telnet has a client (telnet) and server (telnetd) Most probably you have only installed the client.

/etc/xinetd.d there is no file with telnet name.

rpm -qa only shows you what's currently installed, not whats in the repository. Run 'zypper search telnet'. If it shows a package 'telnet-server', run 'zypper install telnet-server'
