telnetd installation

Hi,

Using telnet/telnetd are via busybox, are there any startup script/configuration file changes (or additons) required to enable telnetd? (ie ala xinetd) I manually run /sbin/telnetd & try to remotely ‘telnet’ (and also local “telnet localhost”) but get a “connection refused” error.

(Linux Kernel is 2.6.28; Angstrom Distribution; Beagleboard is rev B6)

Thanks, Rich
