"-bash: telnet: command not found " error?

The RHEL/CentOS 5.4 telnet client is installed at /usr/kerberos/bin/telnet. Your $PATH variable thus needs /usr/kerberos/bin listed. (Preferably before /usr/bin) If for some reason you don't have that file installed, it's part of the package krb5-workstation. Installing that package manually or via YUM should give you what you need.

You can check quick with which telnet to see if it's found anywhere in your path. echo $PATH to see what directories are being checked, and rpm -q krb5-workstation to see if you have the package installed.

Do you have a telnet client installed? Sounds like you only have the daemon installed currently... either that or your environment is setup wrong. Ie, the command telnet does not appear anywhere defined in $PATH
