To "move" telnet service to another port:
1. add a new service to /etc/services, e.g.
foo 2300/tcp
2. edit /etc/inetd.conf to reference the new service, and comment out the
old telnetd reference, e.g.
#telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/telnetd telnetd
foo stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/telnetd telnetd
3. send signal 1 (SIGHUP) to inetd:
kill -1 `cat /var/run/inetd.pid`
boom, you are done. Your system is no more secure or insecure than it was
before.
