Hi all.

I'd like to know if there is a way to temporarily disable telnet access to
my machine for a short period of time.  As far as I can tell the only way
is to kill inetd, but I don't want to lose fingerd, talkd, etc.; just telnetd.
Can I just "touch" some file in /etc? or is it not so simple?

Thanks in advance,
