Thanks for your help and time. Telnet worked when I installed the xineted and in.telnetd from CD using Yast2, but having problems with ftp. Any ideas.
Thanks again!

Well what a strange world we live in. I have literally just finished getting ftp/telnet working on my SuSE 8.0 install and what do I find? This posting!
So here is some additional information:
By default, it appears that inetd/xinetd is NOT enabled. I use xinetd rather than inetd as there is more control over configuration. To enable startup/shutdown of inetd (xinetd) place symbolic links in /etc/init.d/rc3.d and /etc/init.d/rc5.d. The configuration file for xinetd is /etc/xinetd.conf (and for inetd is /etc/inetd.conf).
Now services started by xinetd use the tcp wrappers so to get things working you will have to make some edits to the files /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny. See man 5 hosts_access for details of the format.
I use to use proftpd as the ftp daemon but there have been some security problems to instead I now use vsftpd. Configuration file for this is /etc/vsftpd.conf
Hope this is enough to get you going.
If you still have problems, drop me a note and I will try and help.
Kind regards,
Simon

Please help me configure FTP and Telnet or point me to the resources which would help me do the same.
Services such as these are enabled by editing the /etc/inetd.conf file.
I'll only add the "Start/stop services (inetd)" module of YaST2 in Network/Basic can be used instead.
If I remember it right, some server packages must be installed, they are not in the default configuration. Anyway, ssh and scp or vsftp are safer alternatives.
