[CentOS] TELNENT TO LOCALHOST IN CENTOS 7

I just install Centos 7 on my laptop. I have also installed telnet-server and telnet. I can telnet to other server from my local CentOS 7 but can not telnet localhost also, i can not telnet to my localhost from other server.

I try to check telnet file in /etc/xinetd.d directory but the file "telnet" is not there.

Please can someone help me with the steps to install telnet or enable telnet services on CENTOS 7 so that i can telnet my localhost.

Below is the error message: [claire@ittestsrvr ~]$ telnet localhost Trying ::1... telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
