All,
Forgive me for butting in on this one but I ran into the same situation
on 7.0 when I chose a security level above medium on the install and here
is what I did to get telnet et al back
1. uncomment the lines in inetd.conf concerning telnet and ftp.
2. uncomment the telnet and ftp lines in /etc/services.
2. install telnet server package. It didn't get installed, without it
telnet doesn't work and I don't think ssh will either.
3. install ftp client (wu-ftpd for example and be sure and grab the new
one it seemed to need this even though I had scp)
4. at the prompt type killall -HUP inetd to restart inetd.
This is what worked for me, hope it works for you.
