# Telnet (Español)

From ArchWiki

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.
