I will not go over the question about running telnet in yourlaptop; others will chime in. Now that is out, did you check whether telnet is running using ps and netstat?
useless advise, since telnet is almost always run from a socket, the telnetd is only running if there's an active connection.
to the OP, the *correct* answer is, do not use or touch xinetd, and if you modified anything in xinetd, undo it. heck, uniinstall xinetd, nothing in RHEL7/CentOS7 uses xinetd anymore.
root# systemctl enable telnet.socket root# systemctl start telnet.socket
I take you missed the part in my reply asking him to do
systemctl status telnet.socket
the first command enables it so its available when the system is rebooted.
the 2nd command starts it now.
now, I will have to concur, the telnet protocol should be banned, and anything using it should be updated to use ssh instead. I haven't enabled telnetd on any unix/linux host for the last 10+ years.
