Have you checked that the telnet entry in /etc/inetd.conf is enabled (i.e.
exists and is not commented out)?
Here is what my telnet entry in /etc/inetd.conf looks like:
telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd
/usr/sbin/in.telnetd
(the above is supposed to be on one line)
There should also be a telnet entry in /etc/services as follows:
telnet 23/tcp
-Ossama
