Hi,

I've installed sshd and putty, I'd like to stop telnet permanently
without removing it.

Here is a Fedora command:

[root@bigboy tmp]# chkconfig telnet off

Is there a similar one under Debian?

Many thanks

Google for "debian disable telnet". Second hit:
|
| Securing Debian HOWTO - After Installation
| You can disable services by editing /etc/inetd.conf directly,
| but Debian provides an alternative to this: update-inetd. You
| could remove the telnet daemon...

It then goes on to give an example that provides the exact command
you require.

telnetd is started by the tcp wrapper tcpd. In debian AFAIR you need to
comment the line for telnet in the file /etc/inetd.conf .

best regards
