Subject: telnet bug in fedora Core 4 test 2

i was in the fedora Core 4 test 2
on the installation ,i forget to install the legency network
then i realize that telnet is needed ,
so i seek the pakadge containing telnet and xinetd ,then install them.
but ,always ,in the setup
i cannot let telnetd be selected,
when i try to start it using telnetd....
then error evolves like this:
telnetd:get peername:socket operation on non-socket

That's not a telnetd bug, that's a user bug. Two, in fact:

1) telnetd is telling you that you tried to start it by hand, and it *really*
wants to be started by inetd/xinetd.

2) This isn't a kernel problem.

RTFM, telnetd is to be started by inetd.
