Ubuntu Linux enable telnet service

To enable the telnet service on an Ubuntu Linux system, you can follow these steps:

1. Install the telnet server package by running the following command:

sudo apt-get install telnetd

This will install the telnetd package, which provides the telnet server service on Ubuntu Linux.

2. Enable the telnet server service by running the following command:

sudo systemctl enable telnet.socket

This will enable the telnet server service to start automatically when the system boots.

3. Start the telnet server service by running the following command:

sudo systemctl start telnet.socket

The telnet server service should now be running on the system. You can verify the status of the service by running the following command:

sudo systemctl status telnet.socket

This will display the status of the telnet server service.

Keep in mind that the telnet service is not secure and should not be used in production environments. It is recommended to use secure alternatives such as ssh for remote access to the system.

For more information on the telnet service and the systemctl command on Ubuntu Linux, you can refer to the Ubuntu documentation or the man pages for these utilities.
