The telnet server is not enabled by default, if you had it in 9.1 then
surely you enabled it in some moment (i.e. in the xinetd/inetd
configuration files). And of course, the firewall must know that you
want that service open, so must define it in your firewall
configuration.
Anyway, plain telnet is not very safe exactly, why not use i.e. ssh?
the server is enabled by default, and the only thing you must do is
enable connections from outside in the firewall

Hi, I am not able to telnet to my system...I didnt have this problem when I was running 9.1....
telnet 215.176.125.70 Trying 215.176.125.70... telnet: connect to address 215.176.125.70: Connection refused
What configuration changes are required to be done in this case? If the firewall is on, can i disable it completely or is there any way of allowing my telnet session to happen?
