xinetd usually doesn't call tcpd, so hosts.allow and hosts.deny won't be
used.  I don't know if you're using Red Hat 7.0 or 6.2... in 7.0, the
default configuration for wu-ftpd is:

# default: on
# description: The wu-ftpd FTP server serves FTP connections. It uses \
#       normal, unencrypted usernames and passwords for authentication.
service ftp
{
        disable = no
        socket_type             = stream
        wait                    = no
        user                    = root
        server                  = /usr/sbin/in.ftpd
        server_args             = -l -a
        log_on_success          += DURATION USERID
        log_on_failure          += USERID
        nice                    = 10
}

Telnet should (I think, it's not installed) be:

service telnet
{
        disable = yes
        socket_type             = stream
        wait                    = no
        user                    = root
        server                  = /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
        log_on_success          += DURATION USERID
        log_on_failure          += USERID
}
