Telnet (Español)
Telnet is the traditional protocol for making remote console connections over TCP. Telnet is not secure and is mainly used to connect to legacy equipment nowadays. For a secure alternative see SSH.
Follow these instructions to configure an Arch Linux machine as a telnet server.
Instalación
Para usar telnet solo para conectar con otras maquinas, instale el paquete inetutils (si no esta instalado):
# pacman -S inetutils
To configure a telnet server, install xinetd as well:
# pacman -S xinetd
Configuración
1. To allow telnet connections in xinetd, edit /etc/xinetd.d/telnet
and change 'disable = yes' to 'disable = no'
2. Add xinetd to the DAEMONS array of your rc.conf:
DAEMONS=(... xinetd)
3. Reboot or restart xinetd:
# /etc/rc.d/xinetd restart
Testing the setup
Try opening a telnet connection to your server:
$ telnet localhost
Note that you can not login as root.
