Have you got in /etc -
xinetd.d
and in that mbsebbs
that contains:
#:MBSE BBS services are defined here.

service binkp
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = mbse
instances = 10
server = /home/mbse/bin/mbcico
server_args = -t ibn
}
service fido
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = mbse
instances = 10
server = /home/mbse/bin/mbcico
server_args = -t ifc
}
service tfido
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = mbse
instances = 10
server = /home/mbse/bin/mbcico
server_args = -t itn
}
# Telnet to the bbs using mblogin, disabled by default.
#
service telnet
{
disable = no
protocol = tcp
instances = 10
flags = REUSE
log_on_failure += USERID
socket_type = stream
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/telnetd
server_args = -L /home/mbse/bin/mblogin
wait = no
}
If so then change the 'disable = no' to 'disable = yes'
Now this is on the basis that you have installed telnetd !
