I am a beginner in Linux..
I have installed Redhat linux 6.2 into my newly assembled PC.I am unable to
telnet to the linux box.Eventhough I am able to telnet out from that linux
box.I am getting a reply from pinging to the linux host. The message I get
when I try telnet is "Connection refused by host"
When I try ssh I get "TCP ?IP error"
I have verified with ps command that telnet is running in the linux box.
Surprisingly when I run tcpdchk I get the message, inetd.conf and tlid.conf
are not present.
Does it mean that I have to install the Telnet package separately???
What could be the problem?

Tom
