Telnet is un secure network protocol.It sends clear text passwords over network. Its highly recommended to disable it on any public server and use ssh server instead.
- sudo nano /etc/xinetd.d/telnet
- disable = yes
- CTRL+O (to save) and CTRL+X (to exit)
- Now disable it in chkconfig: chkconfig telnet off
- /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart | /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd stop
