Hello. I'm having some trouble enabling telnet. I've installed both telnetd and telnet. I've enabled the relevant ports in the firewall but i keep getting an error "Connection Refused" I can SSH and FTP into my pc but I can't for the life of me figure how to enable telnet. Can anyone assist me, PLEASE!

Why, if you have ssh working? telnet sends data in the clear, so it is not secure at all. IMO, and IME, it's a very good idea to learn all things ssh.
If you really, really want to, have you set up /etc/inetd.conf? It gets installed with telnetd, but you have to uncomment the telnet line in it, and restart inetd:
Code:sudo systemctl restart inetd
