Typing "inetd" will not restart inetd it will spawn an additional copy (as seen by doing a "ps auxwm | grep inetd", "killall -HUP inetd" will restart the daemon. Dino, William is correct on uncommenting the #telnet line of inetd.conf, as he is on recommending ssh instead of telnet. Ssh is enabled by default and acts just like telnet except that the session is encrypted for an extra layer of safety. Telnet sessions are trivial to snoop in on. You could use any other editor as well. Many others like "joe" are very popular. vi's advantage (over being a very powerful tool) is that it's on almost every *nix system made.
