Would be just "security by obscurity". Not necessary to block anything.

Shut down the services you don't need. If you don't want the FTP server
running either disable it with "chkconfig $FTP off" ($FTP is dependent
in the FTP server you run). If you need the FTP server internally, then
block port 21 on the outbound device with iptables.
The telnet server should be stopped under every circumstance! Use SSHD.
