The easiest way to completely disable all inbound telnet connections is to
edit your /etc/inetd.conf
and rem out the telnet service like this:
#telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.telnetd
After saving your file, restart your inetd daemon:
killall -HUP inetd
etc/services simply list the standard known ports for standard internet
services.
Remarking these lines out will only confuse those programs that rely on this
table.

Subject: Disable inbound telnet. What am I missing..
I thought I knew how to disable inbound telnet services, comment out the
line in /etc/services. But when I do that I get the message ;
telnet: tcp/telnet: unknown service
when trying to telnet out of the box. O where have I gone wrong???
Thanks.....
