First, make sure that you have the telnet server package installed:

rpm -q telnet-server

If it comes back with "telnet-server-xxx" where xxx is some sort of 
version info, then you'll run:

/sbin/chkconfig telnet on

to turn the service on.

As a precaution, once you've used the chkconfig line, above, you can:

/sbin/service xinetd restart

to make sure that xinetd reloads with the telnet server available.
