Is xinetd or inetd even running? Is telnet enabled?

I'm not sure if IPChains rules (which are just a layer across
IPTables) show up with the iptables -L command.
Try 'ipchains -L -n' just to be on the safe side.

If that comes back the same way as iptables, there are no firewall
rules set up.
There are certainly no iptables rules.

I'm off t'pub.
