Disable Telnet Access - Apache - Redhat
-----------------------------------------------------------------
---------------
Telnet should be disabled, and you should use SSH. Telnet sends
password in plain text, and 'crackers/hackers' can obtain these
passwords easily compared to SSH, and then takeover your
dedicated web server.
1. Login to your dedicated server via SSH as root.
2. Type: pico -w /etc/xinetd.d/telnet
3. Change the disable = no line to disable = yes.
4. CTRL+X then Y then enter to save the file.
5. Restart xinted. Type: /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart
