You ought to see files like
/etc/xinetd.d/telnet
/etc/xinetd.d/rlogin
with contents like:
# default: on
# description: The telnet server serves telnet sessions; it uses \
# unencrypted username/password pairs for authentication.
service telnet
{
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = no
}
If 'disable = yes' then the service wont function.
Try editing this. I dont know how this cooperates with
the system-services app.

Terry.
