Have a look into inetd.conf:

# If you want telnetd not to "keep-alives" (e.g. if it runs over a ISDN
# uplink), add "-n".  See 'man telnetd' for more details.
telnet  stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  in.telnetd
# Try "telnet localhost systat" and "telnet localhost netstat" to see
that

the program required is in.telnetd. Find out wether it is installed:

brauki@marvin:~> locate in.telnetd
/usr/sbin/in.telnetd
/usr/share/man/man8/in.telnetd.8.gz
brauki@marvin:~>

And, watch the column before that in inetd.conf:  /usr/sbin/tcpd

is tcpd installed?

alternativly (seen the same problem at work a week ago) try to ssh into
that box. Oddly, I could ssh and stroll round that box to find out what
was missing.

good luck!!
