Start telnet server help

[fbsd_user]

You can delete all the inetd_enable="YES"  statements in rc.conf but
one.
If you also have a firewall on the freebsd box you have to add rule
to allow tcp port 23 in.
In /etc/inetd.conf you have to uncomment the telnet line to activate
the telnet server.
You also need an user account other than root to login into using
telnet.

Hi,

 >Have you got a line indicating

 >in your /etc/rc.conf?

Yes it's indicated, The file rc.conf is accumulative? Because inside
it
appears the last configuration changed with the date. The line
inetd_enable="YES" is repeated every time I made a change.

and $ telnet localhost works but remotely doesn't.

I tried to install telnet server because I'm sat down in a PC with
windowsXP and I thought to connect myself to freeBSD pc to study it
more
comfortable.

My freeBSD version is 5.4
