Tnx for your reactions.


1. /etc/init.d/telnetd does not exist on KNOPPIX 3.6.

2. when you do :

cd /
find . -name telnetd -print
you get /KNOPPIX/usr/lib/telnetd

However, this direcory is EMPTY !


3. I prefer to use telnet above SSH, since telnet clients are installed by default on WIN (still used by my employer). It is even by default installed on KNOPPIX.

4. I am very surpised that there is no telnetd standard available running on KNOPPIX.

Why not the telnet server ? I do no want to say that it has to be enabled by default, but an available telnetd executable would be nice.
