Hi,

The inetd daemon starts up the telnetd daemon when it receives a request on the specified port . So to start it
you can run the /sbin/init.d/inetd start script ( but having quick look at this script It will execute everything in /etc/rc.config .

If you are having a problem with telnet try refreshing the inetd daemon i.e. kill -1 ( process id of inetd)

You also can use the inetd -k command that will kill the telnet daemon and inetd will restart it for you. Good rule of thumb is do the -k and then the inetd that should kill any ghost processes that you may have out there
