zh-CN:Telnet 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.
Installation

# pacman -S inetutils
To configure a telnet server, install xinetd as well:
# pacman -S xinetd
Configuration
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
