Telnet ... For Newbies ....
I don't know if any such post exists. I created this post for Newbies who have a server & don't Have much Knowledge of servers.
So, if you have a Server & telnet is enabled on it you are in a big trouble as telnet sends password in plain text & can be easliy snooped by hackers which would allow hackers to gain access to your Server . Follow the Stpes Below to Disable Telnet on Your Server :-
1. Type: pico -w /etc/xinetd.d/telnet
2. Cange the disable = no line to disable = yes.
3. CTRL+x, then y then enter to save the file.
4. Restart xinted with:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart
Thanks
