Well, there's your problem. try rcinetd start If that says 'done' and not 'failed', try ps aux|grep inetd again. If it's running now, try telnetting. It should work (fingers crossed :), and you can edit /etc/rc.config changing the line START_INETD= to "yes". That will make inetd start automatically on bootup. And I agree with Ben. If you have to use telnet from a machine on the net, make sure you never use an important password, like roots, not even with 'su'. Remember that everything you do is transmitted in cleartext.

nkitserv? Are you running 7.1?. OK, what did ps aux|grep inetd give you? If inetd is running, and you still can't telnet to localhost from the server, then I'm afraid I'm out if ideas.
Anyone else have anything?

in.telnetd isn't designed to be started
manually.
When it starts, it expects to be called by inetd, and expects there to be a socket waiting with a telnet client on the other end. If you want to try
telnetd
manually, you have to specify
in.telnetd -debug
but it shouldn't be necessary.
