First, verify that it works:

[root@paradox slinky]# service xinetd status
xinetd (pid 483) is running...

Probably a misleading message. You must enable each of those services 
_via_ xinetd.

Wrong commands. ;)

'chkconfig telnet on'

does all you need, provided xinetd is running as tested above.

If xinetd isn't running, 'service xinetd start' should work.
What is the result of 'chkconfig xinetd --list'
You should get something like:
# chkconfig xinetd --list
xinetd          0:off   1:off   2:off   3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off

If it says 'off' for all runlevels, 'chkconfig xinted on' will fix it so 
it starts at boot time.

'man chkconfig' for details.
