Answer 1

Hello,
In order to start ftp (run this commands as root):
#service vsftpd start-to make sure that ftp starts everytime you reboot the system:
#chkconfig vsftpd onI order to start telnet (not recommended though):
-first you need to edit this file:
[root@kido xinetd.d]# cat /etc/xinetd.d/krb5-telnet
# default: off
# description: The kerberized telnet server accepts normal telnet sessions, \
#              but can also use Kerberos 5 authentication.
service telnet
        flags           = REUSE
        socket_type     = stream
        wait            = no
        user            = root
        server          = /usr/kerberos/sbin/telnetd
        log_on_failure  += USERID
        disable         = yes
}-it should like this
[root@kido xinetd.d]# cat /etc/xinetd.d/krb5-telnet
# default: off
# description: The kerberized telnet server accepts normal telnet sessions, \
#              but can also use Kerberos 5 authentication.
service telnet
        flags           = REUSE
        socket_type     = stream
        wait            = no
        user            = root
        server          = /usr/kerberos/sbin/telnetd
        log_on_failure  += USERID
        disable         = no
}-after this, restart xinetd server:
[root@kido xinetd.d]# service xinetd restart
Stopping xinetd:                                           [  OK  ]
Starting xinetd:                                           [  OK  ]I strongly advice you to use ssh instead of telnet (it's far more secure):
#service sshd start
#chkconfig sshd onkido
