where is /etc/xinetd.d/telnet in fedora 23


I'm studying linux server book. I'm now seeing telnet.

they say after install telnet, I should modify telnet configure in /etc/xinetd.d/telnet but there is no telnet file. but install is well finished. enter image description here


Solution

  • Fedora 23 is based on Systemd. The Fedora 23 telnet-server (that's what you installed) uses sytemd service units to manage the telnetd service. To enable it, run systemctl enable telnetd.socket and to start it, systemctl start telnetd.socket. Use this /usr/lib/systemd/system/telnet.socket instead for checking configuration.
