I haven't done this in a while, but I tested telnet under 6.0
enable telnet access via private network on SME 6.0
/sbin/e-smith/config settype telnet service
/sbin/e-smith/config setprop telnet status enabled
/sbin/e-smith/config setprop telnet PermitRootLogin yes
/sbin/e-smith/config setprop telnet access private
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/xinetd.conf
you should now see in /etc/xinetd.conf a line for telnet
you may have to edit /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/hosts.allow
in.telnetd : 127.0.0.1, x.x.x.x/x.x.x.x
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/hosts.allow
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart
